[PATCH RFC v6 0/5] Centralize and unify usage of preempt/irq tracepoints

[Joel Fernandes]

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This is the next revision of preempt/irq tracepoint centralization and
unified usage across the kernel.
The preempt/irq tracepoints exist but not everything in the kernel is
using it. This makes things not work simultaneously (for ex, only either
lockdep or irqsoff events can be used at a time). This series is an attempt to
solve that, and also results in a nice clean up of kernel in general.
Several ifdefs are simpler, and the design is more unified and better.
Also as a result of this, we also speeded performance all rcuidle
tracepoints since their handling is simpler.

No major changes since v5. Just some spelling errors, small refactoring
etc. Also I removed the softirq bug fix from this series and submitted it
separately.

I am also writing a tracepoint self-test that runs various tests, along
with some documentation. I am planning to submit that separately since
it'll take some time to complete them and so that these can go in first.
See [1] for a preview of the tests I have so far (its early stage).

v6:
- fixed lockdep_recursion undefined issue, now using
  lockdep_recursing().
- minor patch clean up

v5:
- Fixed performance issues due to rcu-idle handling

Joel Fernandes (Google) (4):
  srcu: Add notrace variant of srcu_dereference
  trace/irqsoff: Split reset into separate functions
  tracepoint: Make rcuidle tracepoint callers use SRCU
  tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage

Paul McKenney (1):
  srcu: Add notrace variants of srcu_read_{lock,unlock}
