When we cat &lt;debugfs&gt;/tracing/stack_trace, we may cause circular lock:
sys_read()
  t_start()
     arch_spin_lock(&amp;max_stack_lock);

  t_show()
     seq_printf(), vsnprintf() .... /* they are all trace-able,
       when they are traced, max_stack_lock may be required again. */

The following script can trigger this circular dead lock very easy:
#!/bin/bash

echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled

mount -t debugfs xxx /mnt &gt; /dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1

(
# make check_stack() zealous to require max_stack_lock
for ((; ;))
{
	echo 1 &gt; /mnt/tracing/stack_max_size
}
) &amp;

for ((; ;))
{
	cat /mnt/tracing/stack_trace &gt; /dev/null
}

To fix this bug, we increase the percpu trace_active before
require the lock.

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever

No functional change.

It's unused.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
shouldn't care about the rest.

It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

This made my machine completely frozen:

  # echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled
  # echo 2 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled

The cause is register_ftrace_function() was called twice.

Also fix ftrace_enabled sysctl, though seems nothing bad happened
as I tested it.
