Prior to commit 859d069ee1dd ("lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking") IRQ state tracking was disabled in NMIs due to nmi_enter() doing lockdep_off() -- with the obvious requirement that NMI entry call nmi_enter() before trace_hardirqs_off().
[ afaict, PowerPC and SH violate this order on their NMI entry ] However, that commit explicitly changed lockdep_hardirqs_*() to ignore lockdep_off() and breaks every architecture that has irq-tracing in it's NMI entry that hasn't been fixed up (x86 being the only fixed one at this point). The reason for this change is that by ignoring lockdep_off() we can: - get rid of 'current->lockdep_recursion' in lockdep_assert_irqs*() which was going to to give header-recursion issues with the seqlock rework. - allow these lockdep_assert_*() macros to function in NMI context. Restore the previous state of things and allow an architecture to opt-in to the NMI IRQ tracking support, however instead of relying on lockdep_off(), rely on in_nmi(), both are part of nmi_enter() and so over-all entry ordering doesn't need to change.
