The Intel PT decoder limits the number of unconditional branches (e.g. jmps) decoded without consuming any trace packets. Generally, a loop needs a conditional branch which generates a TNT packet, whereas a "ret" instruction will generate a TIP or TNT packet. So exceeding the limit is assumed to be a never-ending loop, which can happen if there has been a decoding error putting the decoder at the wrong place in the code. Up until now, the limit of 10000 has been enough but some analytic purposes have been reported to exceed that. Increase the limit to 100000, and make it configurable via perf config intel-pt.max-loops. Also amend the "Never-ending loop" message to mention the configuration entry.
