Subject: [PATCH v2] tracing: Fix rcu splat from idle CPU on boot.
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2015 13:09:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441397364-16883-1-git-send-email-philipp@peloton-tech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1441315754-3006-1-git-send-email-philipp@peloton-tech.com>

With PREEMPT_RT and most of the lockdep-related options enabled I
encountered this splat when booting our DRA7 evaluation module:

As per Steve Rotstedt's suggestion I changed the trace_* calls to
trace_*_rcuidle calls. He pointed out that the trace points were getting
triggered when rcu wasn't watching.
