The function-graph tracer marks some interrupt handler functions
with ==========>  and <========== labels.

Interprocessor interrupts are not marked, though (on x86_64). In 
this example, smp_call_function_single_interrupt is really in hardirq
context.  The trace just shows it at the same level as the function
it interrupted.

The plain function tracer shows that smp_call_function_single_interrupt 
is really in hardirq context, marking it with "h":
             fio-4607  [010] ....  5908.340807: blkdev_get_block <-do_direct_IO
             fio-4607  [010] ....  5908.340807: put_page <-do_direct_IO
             fio-4607  [010] d.h.  5908.340808: generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt <-smp_call_function_single_interrupt
             fio-4607  [010] d.h.  5908.340808: flush_smp_call_function_queue <-generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt
             fio-4607  [010] d.h.  5908.340808: __blk_mq_complete_request_remote <-flush_smp_call_function_queue
             fio-4607  [010] d.h.  5908.340808: scsi_softirq_done <-__blk_mq_complete_request_remote
             fio-4607  [010] d.h.  5908.340808: scsi_decide_disposition <-scsi_softirq_done
             fio-4607  [010] d.h.  5908.340808: scsi_handle_queue_ramp_up <-scsi_decide_disposition

blk-mq (and scsi-mq) can generate lots of IPIs if 
/sys/block/sdNN/device/rq_affinity is 1 or 2 (which force block layer 
completion processing to be done on the submitting CPU node or 
submitting CPU).

This code in check_irq_entry() apparently doesn't detect IPIs:
        if ((addr < (unsigned long)__irqentry_text_start) ||
            (addr >= (unsigned long)__irqentry_text_end))
                return 0;

In scsi-mq tests, do_IRQ and smp_apic_timer_interrupt are the only 
ones that show up.

The __irq_entry attribute apparently tells the linker to place
the functions in that range:
./arch/x86/kernel/irq.c:__visible unsigned int __irq_entry do_IRQ(struct pt_regs *regs)
./arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:__visible void __irq_entry smp_apic_timer_interrupt(struct pt_regs *regs)
./arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:__visible void __irq_entry smp_trace_apic_timer_interrupt(struct pt_regs *regs)

but adding that attribute to these functions in irq.c does not help: 
./arch/x86/kernel/irq.c:__visible void __irq_entry smp_x86_platform_ipi(struct pt_regs *regs)
./arch/x86/kernel/irq.c:__visible void __irq_entry smp_trace_x86_platform_ipi(struct pt_regs *regs)

Unlike do_IRQ and smp_apic_timer_interrupt, those function names never 
appear in the function-graph; the first function I see is always 
generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt.

blk-mq calls smp_call_function_single_async directly, which
can result in generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt on the
local CPU, and that call chain shouldn't be treated as being in
a new interrupt context.  When this happens, it is already in a 
interupt context call chain from do_IRQ.
