From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <j...@joelfernandes.org> Recently we tried to make the preemptirqsoff tracer to use irqsoff tracepoint probes. However this causes issues as reported by Masami:
[2.271078] Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: .. no entries found ..FAILED! [2.381015] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/kernel/ trace/trace.c:1512 run_tracer_selftest+0xf3/0x154 This is due to the tracepoint code increasing the preempt nesting count by calling an additional preempt_disable before calling into the preemptoff tracer which messes up the preempt_count() check in tracer_hardirqs_off. To fix this, make the irqsoff tracer probes balance the additional outer preempt_disable with a preempt_enable_notrace. The other way to fix this is to just use SRCU for all tracepoints. However we can't do that because we can't use NMIs from RCU context.
