Subject: [PATCH v5 35/37] tracing: Increase trace_recursive_lock() limit for synthetic events
Date:   Thu,  9 Nov 2017 14:34:06 -0600
Message-Id: <45041a32e0261b55550c87a764631ccd31545630.1510252666.git.tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>

Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Synthetic event generation needs to happen while the current event is
still in progress, so add 1 to the trace_recursive_lock() recursion
limit to account for that.

Because we also want to allow for the possibility of a synthetic event
being generated from another synthetic event, add an additional
increment for that as well.
