Impact: remove spinlocks and irq disabling in function return tracer. I've tried to figure out all of the race condition that could happen when the tracer pushes or pops a return address trace to/from the current thread_info. Theory: _ One thread can only execute on one cpu at a time. So this code doesn't need to be SMP-safe. Just drop the spinlock. _ The only race could happen between the current thread and an interrupt. If an interrupt is raised, it will increase the index of the return stack storage and then execute until the end of the tracing to finally free the index it used. We don't need to disable irqs. This is theorical. In practice, I've tested it with a two-core SMP and had no problem at all. Perhaps -tip testing could confirm it.
