Since faultable and non-faultable events are mutually exclusive, why not
just allocated them separately? Then you could have the __DO_TRACE() macro
get passed in whether the event can be faulted or not, by the created trace.

As Peter mentioned, why not use the srcu below?

Change the above comment and have:

if (!mayfault)
preempt_disable_notrace();

And we can have:

if (rcuidle || mayfault) {
__idx = srcu_read_lock_notrace(&tracepoint_srcu);
if (!mayfault)
ct_irq_enter_irqson();
}

Instead of adding "tp_flags" just pass the "mayfault" boolean in.

Instead of passing in flags, I'm thinking that the faultable tracepoints
need to go into its own section, and possibly have a
register_trace_mayfault_##event() to make it highly distinguishable from
events that don't expect to fault.

Since everything is made by macros, it's not hard to keep all the above
code, and wrap it in other macros so that the faultable and non-faultable
tracepoints share most of the code.

But as tracepoints live in __section("__tracepoints"), I'm thinking we may
want __section("__tracepoints_mayfault") to keep them separate.

Thoughts?
