Subject: convert ltt_nesting to a per_thread variable, and access it with volatile access
X-Git-Tag: v1.9.1~689
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=015d08b66af5ebd10665aa90f5426930e56c540d;p=lttng-ust.git

convert ltt_nesting to a per_thread variable, and access it with volatile access

This fixes an ltt_nesting corruption bug.
