No, just in __DO_TRACE(). The rcu_dereference_sched() above in
__DECLARE_TRACE() in the if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LOCKDEP) block is
required to show the warnings if trace_##name() is used wrong, and is
the reason we can use rcu_dereference_raw() in __DO_TRACE() in the
first place ;-)

This brings up another point. We should probably add to
__DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() this:

#ifndef MODULE
#define __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU(name, proto, args, cond, data_proto, data_args) \
	static inline void trace_##name##_rcuidle(proto)		\
	{								\
		if (static_key_false(&__tracepoint_##name.key))		\
			__DO_TRACE(&__tracepoint_##name,		\
				TP_PROTO(data_proto),			\
				TP_ARGS(data_args),			\
				TP_CONDITION(cond), 1);			\
+		if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LOCKDEP) && (cond)) {		\
+			int idx;					\
+			idx = srcu_read_lock_notrace(&tracepoint_srcu); \
+			srcu_dereference_notrace(__tracepoint_##name.funcs, \
+						&tracepoint_srcu);	\
+			srcu_read_unlock_notrace(&tracepoint_srcu, idx); \
+		}							\
	}
#else


So that lockdep works with trace_##name##__rcuidle() when the trace
event is not enabled.

But that should be a separate patch and not part of this series. I may
write that up tomorrow.
