There should be a:
#ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_CRITICAL_SECTION_EVENTS
around the entire header.

Save only the ip, not the name.

This is very slow to have in the fast path.

Put in %pF here, trace-cmd and perf know how to handle those, and then
the translation from ip to function name is done in the slow path.

Same here.

Either make TRACE_CRITICAL_SECTION_EVENTS depend on irqsoff and preempt
tracers, or change trace_irqsoff.c to be able to handle it without
those tracers enabled.
"select" should be avoided when possible.

Nuke the above and ...

use this_cpu_read() instead. It's much faster.

Same here.

Are you not worried about recursion here? There's no protection.
Wouldn't it be better to have:
if (!this_cpu_read(tracing_events_cpu))
return;
trace_critical_end(ip, parent_ip);
this_cpu_write(tracing_events_cpu, 0);
?

Add:
#else
static inline void start_critical_event(unsigned long ip,
unsigned long pip) { }
static inline void stop_critical_event(unsigned long ip,
unsigned long pip) { }
static inline int trace_critical_start_enabled() { return 0; }

And replace the above with:
if (trace_critical_start_enabled())
start_critical_event(CALLER_ADDR0, CALLER_ADDR1);
to get rid of the #ifdef embedded in the code.
Also, notice the use of "trace_critical_start_enabled()".

Same here, but for the stop functions.

(that was repetitive).
