[patch V3 06/44] x86/tracing: Introduce a static key for exception tracing

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Mon Aug 28 2017 - 03:05:15 EST


Switching the IDT just for avoiding tracepoints creates a complete
impenetrable macro/inline/ifdef mess.

There is no point in avoiding tracepoints for most of the traps/exceptions.
For the more expensive tracepoints, like pagefaults, this can be handled with
an explicit static key.

Preparatory patch to remove the tracing idt.
