Subject: [PATCH 08/11] tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled
Date: Mon, 06 Oct 2014 17:35:52 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141006213631.352752419@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20141006213544.344821619@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0008-tracing-generate-RCU-warnings-even-when-tracepoints-.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2692 bytes --]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Dave Jones reported seeing a bug from one of my TLB tracepoints:

	http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140806181801.GA4605@redhat.com

I've been running these patches for months and never saw this.
But, a big chunk of my testing, especially with all the debugging
enabled, was in a vm where intel_idle doesn't work.  On the
systems where I was using intel_idle, I never had lockdep enabled
and this tracepoint on at the same time.

This patch ensures that whenever we have lockdep available, we do
_some_ RCU activity at the site of the tracepoint, despite
whether the tracepoint's condition matches or even if the
tracepoint itself is completely disabled.  This is a bit of a
hack, but it is pretty self-contained.

I confirmed that with this patch plus lockdep I get the same
splat as Dave Jones did, but without enabling the tracepoint
explicitly.
