If rcu_read_lock_sched tracing is enabled, the tracing subsystem can
perform a jump which needs to be checked by CFI. For example, stm_ftrace
source is enabled as a module and hooks into enabled ftrace events. This
can cause an recursive loop where find_shadow_check_fn ->
rcu_read_lock_sched -> (call to stm_ftrace generates cfi slowpath) ->
find_shadow_check_fn -> rcu_read_lock_sched -> ...
To avoid the recursion, either the ftrace codes needs to be marked with
__no_cfi or CFI should not trace. Use the "_notrace" in CFI to avoid
tracing so that CFI can guard ftrace.

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.
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.
