[PATCH RFC] tracepoint: Use SRCU for all tracepoint invocations

From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Tue Aug 07 2018 - 22:10:45 EST


Steven reported that rcuidle && in_nmi() condition can occur which
creates a problem for SRCU usage, since we can't use the SRCU node from
both NMI context and other contexts (NMI can come in while the SRCU read
lock is in the process of being held).

This patch switches to using a separate SRCU node for tracepoints called
from in_nmi(). This is needed to also make tracepoints work while CPU is
offline.

Fixes: c3bc8fd637a9 ("tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and
unify their usage")

Dropped the "CPU offline" changes, and only keeping the SRCU changes.
