[PATCH RFC v5 0/6] Centralize and unify usage of preempt/irq tracepoints

From: Joel Fernandes
Date: Mon Apr 30 2018 - 21:42:40 EST


This is the next revision of preempt/irq tracepoint centralization and
unified usage across the kernel [1].
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.

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

Joel Fernandes (5):
softirq: reorder trace_softirqs_on to prevent lockdep splat
srcu: Add notrace variant of srcu_dereference
trace/irqsoff: Split reset into seperate functions
tracepoint: Make rcuidle tracepoint callers use SRCU
tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage

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