Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Two tracing fixes:

   - Fix temp buffer accounting that caused a WARNING for
     ftrace_dump_on_opps()

   - Move the recursion check in one of the function callback helpers to
     the beginning of the function, as if the rcu_is_watching() gets
     traced, it will cause a recursive loop that will crash the kernel"

<id>urn:sha1:b40341fad6cc2daa195f8090fd3348f18fff640a</id>
<content type='text'>
The first thing that the ftrace function callback helper functions should do
is to check for recursion. Peter Zijlstra found that when
"rcu_is_watching()" had its notrace removed, it caused perf function tracing
to crash. This is because the call of rcu_is_watching() is tested before
function recursion is checked and and if it is traced, it will cause an
infinite recursion loop.

rcu_is_watching() should still stay notrace, but to prevent this should
never had crashed in the first place. The recursion prevention must be the
first thing done in callback functions.

<content type='text'>
The temp buffer size variable for trace_find_next_entry() was incorrectly
being updated when the size did not change. The temp buffer size should only
be updated when it is reallocated.

This is mostly an issue when used with ftrace_dump(). That's because
ftrace_dump() can not allocate a new buffer, and instead uses a temporary
buffer with a fix size. But the variable that keeps track of that size is
incorrectly updated with each call, and it could fall into the path that
would try to reallocate the buffer and produce a warning.

Not only fix the updating of the temp buffer, but also do not free the temp
buffer before a new buffer is allocated (there's no reason to not continue
to use the current temp buffer if an allocation fails).

In parse_var_defs() if there is a problem allocating
var_defs.expr, the earlier var_defs.name is freed.
This free is duplicated by free_var_defs() which frees
the rest of the list.

Because free_var_defs() has to run anyway, remove the

<content type='text'>
For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to
4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs
but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default
becomes 131072 which needs six digits.
This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the
initial upper limit.

Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The
result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a
little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like
on big iron with 98+ CPUs).

Increase the pid padding to seven digits.
