powerpc64/ftrace: Add a field in paca to disable ftrace in unsafe cod…
…e paths We have some C code that we call into from real mode where we cannot take any exceptions. Though the C functions themselves are mostly safe, if these functions are traced, there is a possibility that we may take an exception. For instance, in certain conditions, the ftrace code uses WARN(), which uses a 'trap' to do its job. For such scenarios, introduce a new field in paca 'ftrace_enabled', which is checked on ftrace entry before continuing. This field can then be set to zero to disable/pause ftrace, and set to a non-zero value to resume ftrace. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
