ARM: 8393/1: smp: Fix suspicious RCU usage with ipi tracepoints
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
John Stultz reports an RCU splat on boot with ARM ipi trace
events enabled.

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
4.1.0-rc7-00033-gb5bed2f #153 Not tainted
-------------------------------
include/trace/events/ipi.h:68 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/0/0.

stack backtrace:

At this point in the IPI handling path we haven't called
irq_enter() yet, so RCU doesn't know that we're about to exit
idle and properly warns that we're using RCU from an idle CPU.
Use trace_ipi_entry_rcuidle() instead of trace_ipi_entry() so
that RCU is informed about our exit from idle.
