[PATCH v6 0/2] x86/apic: x2apic write eoi msr notrace

[Wanpeng Li]

| RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
| rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
| RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
| no locks held by swapper/1/0.

|  [<ffffffff9d492b95>] do_trace_write_msr+0x135/0x140
|  [<ffffffff9d06f860>] native_write_msr+0x20/0x30
|  [<ffffffff9d065fad>] native_apic_msr_eoi_write+0x1d/0x30
|  [<ffffffff9d05bd1d>] smp_reschedule_interrupt+0x1d/0x30
|  [<ffffffff9d8daec6>] reschedule_interrupt+0x96/0xa0

Reschedule interrupt may be called in cpu idle state. This causes lockdep
check warning above.

As Peterz pointed out:

| The thing is, many many smp_reschedule_interrupt() invocations don't
| actually execute anything much at all and are only send to tickle the
| return to user path (which does the actual preemption).
| 
| Having to do the whole irq_enter/irq_exit dance just for this unlikely
| debug case totally blows.

This patchset adds x2apic write eoi msr notrace to avoid the debug codes 
splash and reverts irq_enter/irq_exit dance to avoid to make a very frequent 
interrupt slower because of debug code.

v5 -> v6:
 * split the patch 
 * don't duplicate the inline asm

v4 -> v5:
 * add notrace mark 

v3 -> v4: 
 * add notrace mark 

v2 -> v3:
 * revert irq_enter/irq_exit() since it is merged

v1 -> v2:
 * add write msr notrace to avoid debug codes splash instead of slowdown 
   a very frequent interrupt
