[PATCH 7/5 v2] tracing: Make sure rcu_irq_enter() can work for trace_*_rcuidle() trace events

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Apr 07 2017 - 13:48:35 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Stack tracing discovered that there's a small location inside the RCU
infrastructure where calling rcu_irq_enter() does not work. As trace events
use rcu_irq_enter() it must make sure that it is functionable. A check
against rcu_irq_enter_disabled() is added with a WARN_ON_ONCE() as no trace
event should ever be used in that part of RCU. If the warning is triggered,
then the trace event is ignored.

Mathieu, is this better? (yeah, i left in functionable, because I like
that word ;-)
