+/*
+ * For function tracing recursion:
+ * The order of these bits are important.
+ *
+ * When function tracing occurs, the following steps are made:
+ * If arch does not support a ftrace feature:
+ * call internal function (uses INTERNAL bits) which calls...
+ * If callback is registered to the "global" list, the list
+ * function is called and recursion checks the GLOBAL bits.
+ * then this function calls...
+ * The function callback, which can use the FTRACE bits to
+ * check for recursion.
+ *
+ * Now if the arch does not suppport a feature, and it calls
+ * the global list function which calls the ftrace callback
+ * all three of these steps will do a recursion protection.
+ * There's no reason to do one if the previous caller already
+ * did. The recursion that we are protecting against will
+ * go through the same steps again.
+ *
+ * To prevent the multiple recursion checks, if a recursion
+ * bit is set that is higher than the MAX bit of the current
+ * check, then we know that the check was made by the previous
+ * caller, and we can skip the current check.
