From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <j...@joelfernandes.org> Since we switched to using SRCU for tracepoints used in the idle path, we can no longer use rcu_dereference_sched for dereferencing points in trace-event hooks.
Since tracepoints can now use either SRCU or sched-RCU, just use rcu_dereference_raw for traceevents just like we're doing when dereferencing the tracepoint table. This prevents an RCU warning reported by Masami: [ 282.060593] WARNING: can't dereference registers at 00000000f3c7f62b [ 282.063200] ============================= [ 282.064082] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage [ 282.064963] 4.18.0-rc6+ #15 Tainted: G W [ 282.066048] ----------------------------- [ 282.066923] /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/kernel/trace/trace_events.c:242 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
