[PATCH v1] percpu: use raw_local_irq_* in _this_cpu op

From: Ming Lei
Date: Wed Feb 15 2012 - 03:54:48 EST


It doesn't make sense to trace irq off or do irq flags
lock proving inside 'this_cpu' operations, so replace local_irq_*
with raw_local_irq_* in 'this_cpu' op.

Also the patch fixes onelockdep warning[1] by the replacement, see
below:

In commit: 933393f58fef9963eac61db8093689544e29a600(percpu:
Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants), local_irq_save/restore(flags) are
added inside this_cpu_inc operation, so that trace_hardirqs_off_caller
will be called by trace_hardirqs_on_caller directly because
__debug_atomic_inc is implemented as this_cpu_inc, which may trigger
the lockdep warning[1], for example in the below ARM scenary:

kernel_thread_helper /*irq disabled*/
->trace_hardirqs_on_caller /*hardirqs_enabled was set*/
->trace_hardirqs_off_caller /*hardirqs_enabled cleared*/
__this_cpu_add(redundant_hardirqs_on)
->trace_hardirqs_off_caller /*irq disabled, so call here*/

The 'unannotated irqs-on' warning will be triggered somewhere because
irq is just enabled after the irq trace in kernel_thread_helper.
