The function graph tracer disables interrupts as well as prevents
recursion via NMIs when recording the graph tracer code. There's no reason
to do this today. That disabling goes back to 2008 when the function graph
tracer was first introduced and recursion protection wasn't part of the
code.
Today, there's no reason to disable interrupts or prevent the code from
recursing as the infrastructure can easily handle it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
