[PATCH] trace: Use rcu_dereference_raw for hooks from trace-event subsystem
From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Thu Aug 02 2018 - 22:34:32 EST
Since we switched to using SRCU for tracepoints used in the idle path,
we can no longer use rcu_dereference_sched for dereferencing points in
trace-event hooks.
Since tracepoints can now use either SRCU or sched-RCU, just use
rcu_dereference_raw for traceevents just like we're doing when
dereferencing the tracepoint table.
This prevents an RCU warning reported by Masami:
