The hcall tracing code has a recursion check built in, which skips tracing if we are already tracing an hcall. However if the tracing code has problems with recursion, this check may not catch all cases because the tracing code could be invoked from a different tracepoint first, then make an hcall that gets traced, then recurse. Add an explicit warning if recursion is detected here, which might help to notice tracing code making hcalls. Really the core trace code should have its own recursion checking and warnings though.

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.
