[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.18 70/93] rcu: Avoid tracing a few functions executed in stop machine

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Thu Aug 11 2022 - 12:08:30 EST


From: Patrick Wang <patrick.wang.shcn@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 48f8070f5dd8e13148ae4647780a452d53c457a2 ]

Stop-machine recently started calling additional functions while waiting:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Former stop machine wait loop:
do {
cpu_relax(); => macro
...
} while (curstate != STOPMACHINE_EXIT);
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Current stop machine wait loop:
do {
stop_machine_yield(cpumask); => function (notraced)
...
touch_nmi_watchdog(); => function (notraced, inside calls also notraced)
...
rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(); => function (notraced, inside calls traced)
} while (curstate != MULTI_STOP_EXIT);
------------------------------------------------------------------

These functions (and the functions that they call) must be marked
notrace to prevent them from being updated while they are executing.
The consequences of failing to mark these functions can be severe:

rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

This commit therefore marks these functions notrace:
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs()
rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs()
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore()
