Prohibit kprobe-events probing on notrace functions. Since probing on a notrace function can cause a recursive event call. In most cases those are just skipped, but in some cases it falls into an infinite recursive call. This protection can be disabled by the kconfig CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y, but it is highly recommended to keep it "n" for normal kernel builds. Note that this is only available if "kprobes on ftrace" has been implemented on the target arch and CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=y.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
