No changes in the series, just a rebase + repost. All patches have a Reviewed-by tags now from reviewers. This series has been well tested and is a simplification/refactoring of existing code, along with giving a speed-up for tracepoints using the rcu-idle API. With this our users will find it easier to use tools depending on existing preempt tracepoints since it simplifies the configuration for them. Future enhancements/fixes I am developing for preempt-off tracer will depend on these patches, so I suggest prioritizing these well reviewed and tested patches for that reason as well. Introduction to the series: The preempt/irq tracepoints exist but not everything in the kernel is using it whenever they need to be notified that a preempt disable/enable or an irq disable/enable has occurred. This makes things not work simultaneously (for example, only either lockdep or irqsoff trace-events can be used at a time). This is particularly painful to deal with, since turning on lockdep breaks tracers that install probes on IRQ events, such as the BCC atomic critical section tracer [1]. This constraint also makes it impossible to use synthetic events to trace irqsoff sections with lockdep simulataneously turned on. This series solves that, and also results in a nice clean up of relevant parts of the kernel. 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. [1] https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/criticalstat_example.txt v8->v9: - Small style changes to tracepoint code (Mathieu) - Minor style fix to use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO (0-day bot) - Minor fix to test_atomic_sections to use unsigned long. - Added Namhyung's, Mathieu's Reviewed-by to some patches. - Added Acks from Matsami v7->v8: - Refactored irqsoff tracer probe defines (Namhyung) v6->v7: - Added a module to simulate an atomic section, a kselftest to load and and trigger it which verifies the preempt-tracer and this series. - Fixed a new warning after I rebased in early boot, this is because early_boot_irqs_disabled was set too early, I moved it after the lockdep initialization. - added back the softirq fix since it appears it wasn't picked up. - Ran Ingo's locking API selftest suite which are passing with this series. - Mathieu suggested ifdef'ing the tracepoint_synchronize_unregister function incase tracepoints aren't enabled, did that.
