tracing: Remove most or all of stack tracer stack size from stack_max_size
Currently, the depth reported in the stack tracer stack_trace file
does not match the stack_max_size file. This is because the stack_max_size
includes the overhead of stack tracer itself while the depth does not.
The first time a max is triggered, a calculation is not performed that
figures out the overhead of the stack tracer and subtracts it from
the stack_max_size variable. The overhead is stored and is subtracted
from the reported stack size for comparing for a new max.
Now the stack_max_size corresponds to the reported depth:
# cat stack_max_size
4640
# cat stack_trace
Depth Size Location (48 entries)
----- ---- --------
0) 4640 32 _raw_spin_lock+0x18/0x24
1) 4608 112 ____cache_alloc+0xb7/0x22d
2) 4496 80 kmem_cache_alloc+0x63/0x12f
3) 4416 16 mempool_alloc_slab+0x15/0x17
[...]
While testing against and older gcc on x86 that uses mcount instead
of fentry, I found that pasing in ip + MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE let the
stack trace show one more function deep which was missing before.
