On platforms with an arch timer erratum workaround, it's possible for
arch_timer_reg_read_stable() to recurse into itself when certain
tracing options are enabled, leading to stack overflows and related
problems.
For example, when PREEMPT_TRACER and FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER are
selected, it's possible to trigger this with:
$ mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug/
$ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
The problem is that in such cases, preempt_disable() instrumentation
attempts to acquire a timestamp via trace_clock(), resulting in a call
back to arch_timer_reg_read_stable(), and hence recursion.
This patch changes arch_timer_reg_read_stable() to use
preempt_{disable,enable}_notrace(), which avoids this.
This problem is similar to the fixed by upstream commit

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
