Subject: [PATCH 3.12 069/113] printk: use rcuidle console tracepoint

From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@...il.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit fc98c3c8c9dcafd67adcce69e6ce3191d5306c9c upstream.

Use rcuidle console tracepoint because, apparently, it may be issued
from an idle CPU:

  hw-breakpoint: Failed to enable monitor mode on CPU 0.
  hw-breakpoint: CPU 0 failed to disable vector catch

  ===============================
  [ ERR: suspicious RCU usage.  ]
  4.10.0-rc8-next-20170215+ #119 Not tainted
  -------------------------------
  ./include/trace/events/printk.h:32 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

  other info that might help us debug this:

  RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
  rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 0
  RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
  2 locks held by swapper/0/0:
   #0:  (cpu_pm_notifier_lock){......}, at: [<c0237e2c>] cpu_pm_exit+0x10/0x54
   #1:  (console_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c01ab350>] vprintk_emit+0x264/0x474

  stack backtrace:
  CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc8-next-20170215+ #119
  Hardware name: Generic OMAP4 (Flattened Device Tree)
    console_unlock
    vprintk_emit
    vprintk_default
    printk
    reset_ctrl_regs
    dbg_cpu_pm_notify
    notifier_call_chain
    cpu_pm_exit
    omap_enter_idle_coupled
    cpuidle_enter_state
    cpuidle_enter_state_coupled
    do_idle
    cpu_startup_entry
    start_kernel

This RCU warning, however, is suppressed by lockdep_off() in printk().
lockdep_off() increments the ->lockdep_recursion counter and thus
disables RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() and debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled(), which want
lockdep to be enabled "current->lockdep_recursion == 0".
