[PATCH v7 0/8] Centralize and unify usage of preempt/irq tracepoints

[Joel Fernandes <joelaf@google.com>]

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org>

This is the next revision of preempt/irq tracepoint centralization and
unified usage across the kernel.
The preempt/irq tracepoints exist but not everything in the kernel is
using it. This makes things not work simultaneously (for ex, only either
lockdep or irqsoff events can be used at a time). This series is an attempt to
solve that, and also results in a nice clean up of kernel in general.
Several ifdefs are simpler, and the design is more unified and better.
Also as a result of this, we also speeded performance all rcuidle
tracepoints since their handling is simpler.

Few changes since v6:
- Added a module to simulate an atomic section, a kselftest to load and
  and trigger it which verifies the preempt-tracer and this series.

- there is a new warning after I rebased in early boot, this is because
early_boot_irqs_disabled was set too early, I moved it after the lockdep
initialization.

- added back the softirq fix since it appears it wasn't picked up.

- Ran Ingo's locking API selftest suite which are passing with this
  series.

- Mathieu suggested ifdef'ing the tracepoint_synchronize_unregister
  function incase tracepoints aren't enabled, did that.


Joel Fernandes (Google) (7):
  softirq: reorder trace_softirqs_on to prevent lockdep splat
  srcu: Add notrace variant of srcu_dereference
  trace/irqsoff: Split reset into separate functions
  tracepoint: Make rcuidle tracepoint callers use SRCU
  tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage
  lib: Add module to simulate atomic sections for testing preemptoff
    tracers
  kselftests: Add tests for the preemptoff and irqsoff tracers

Paul McKenney (1):
  srcu: Add notrace variants of srcu_read_{lock,unlock}
