Subject: [RFC][PATCH] tracing: Hide global trace clock from lockdep
Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2018 14:50:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180404145015.77bde42d@gandalf.local.home> (raw)
From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Function tracing can trace in NMIs and such. If the TSC is determined
to be unstable, the tracing clock will switch to the global clock on
boot up, unless "trace_clock" is specified on the kernel command line.
The global clock disables interrupts to access sched_clock_cpu(), and in
doing so can be done within lockdep internals (because of function
tracing and NMIs). This can trigger false lockdep splats.
The trace_clock_global() is special, best not to trace the irq logic
within it.
