[PATCH] tracing: Move postpone selftests to core from early_initcall

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed May 17 2017 - 11:14:42 EST



I hit the following lockdep splat when booting with ftrace selftests
enabled, as well as CONFIG_PREEMPT and LOCKDEP.

Testing dynamic ftrace ops #1:
(1 0 1 0 0)
(1 1 2 0 0)
(2 1 3 0 169)
(2 2 4 0 50066)

What happens is that the selftests include a creating of a dynamically
allocated ftrace_ops, which requires the use of synchronize_rcu_tasks()
which uses srcu, and triggers the above warning.

It appears that synchronize_rcu_tasks() is not set up at early_initcall(),
but it is at core_initcall(). By moving the tests down to that location
works out properly.
