From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> If a ftrace callback does not supply its own recursion protection and does not set the RECURSION_SAFE flag in its ftrace_ops, then ftrace will make a helper trampoline to do so before calling the callback instead of just calling the callback directly. The default for ftrace_ops is going to assume recursion protection unless otherwise specified.
