Linus Torvalds 5572ad8fdd tracing fixes for v6.19:
- Remove useless assignment of soft_mode variable
 
   The function __ftrace_event_enable_disable() sets "soft_mode" in one of
   the branch paths but doesn't use it after that. Remove the setting of that
   variable.
 
 - Add a cond_resched() in ring_buffer_resize()
 
   The resize function that allocates all the pages for the ring buffer was
   causing a soft lockup on PREEMPT_NONE configs when allocating large
   buffers on machines with many CPUs. Hopefully this is the last
   cond_resched() needed to be added as PREEMPT_LAZY becomes the norm in the
   future.
 
 - Make ftrace_graph_ent depth field signed
 
   The "depth" field of struct ftrace_graph_ent was converted from "int" to
   "unsigned long" for alignment reasons to work with being embedded in other
   structures. The conversion from a signed to unsigned caused integrity
   checks to always pass as they were comparing "depth" to less than zero.
   Make the field signed long.
 
 - Add recursion protection to stack trace events
 
   A infinite recursion was triggered by a stack trace event calling RCU
   which internally called rcu_read_unlock_special(), which triggered an
   event that was also doing stacktraces which cause it to trigger the same
   RCU lock that called rcu_read_unlock_special() again.
 
   Update the trace_test_and_set_recursion() to add a set of context checks
   for events to use, and have the stack trace event use that for recursion
   protection.
 
 - Make the variable ftrace_dump_on_oops static
 
   The cleanup of sysctl that moved all the updates to the files that use
   them moved the reference of ftrace_dump_on_oops to where it is used.
   It is no longer used outside of the trace.c file. Make it static.
