[PATCH 0/5] sched/cputime: irqtime cleanups v2

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Sun Sep 25 2016 - 20:29:40 EST


This second version fixes the ifdeffery issues reported by Paolo Bonzini
and includes Rick's reviewed-by tags.

I also intended to include Peterz's patch for lockdep assertion on irqs
disabled but unfortunately I get false positives as irqs_disabled()
doesn't always imply !current->hardirqs_enabled. This seems to happen
during the boot with IRQs interrupting lockdep internals while
current->lockdep_recursion == 1. Therefore the trace_hardirqs_off() on
x86 IRQ entry gets ignored. I'll investigate further and try to get
that fixed in order to introduce lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() properly
but that's outside the scope of this patchset now.
