ftrace: printk and trace irqsoff and wakeups
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
printk called from wakeup critical timings and irqs off can
cause deadlocks since printk might do a wakeup itself. If the
call to printk happens with the runqueue lock held, it can
deadlock.

This patch protects the printk from being called in trace irqs off
with a test to see if the runqueue for the current CPU is locked.
If it is locked, the printk is skipped.

The wakeup always holds the runqueue lock, so the printk is
simply removed.
