From: Derrick Stolee <redacted> The ALLOC_GROW() helper can call die() on a failed memory allocation. We need to remove this from the trace2 API code to prevent a recursive die() handler. This helper is used to track the nested region stack. Use a new skipped_regions member to track how many times a region was entered without being added to the stack, and decrease that amount as we leave each region. This allows us to avoid a failure and instead stop deepening the stack, giving as much nesting behavior as possible without failing the entire process.
