The following sequence triggers a kernel stack overflow on s390x:
mount -t tracefs tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing
cd /sys/kernel/tracing
echo function_graph > current_tracer
[crash]
This is because preempt_count_{add,sub} are in the list of traced
functions, which can be demonstrated by:
echo preempt_count_add >set_ftrace_filter
echo function_graph > current_tracer
[crash]
The stack overflow happens because get_tod_clock_monotonic() gets called
by ftrace but itself calls preempt_{disable,enable}(), which leads to a
endless recursion. Fix this by using preempt_{disable,enable}_notrace().
Fixes: 011620688a ("s390/time: ensure get_clock_monotonic() returns monotonic values")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
