Subject: [PATCH RFC v5 5/6] tracepoint: Make rcuidle tracepoint callers use SRCU
In recent tests with IRQ on/off tracepoints, a large performance
overhead ~10% is noticed when running hackbench. This is root caused to
calls to rcu_irq_enter_irqson and rcu_irq_exit_irqson from the
tracepoint code. Following a long discussion on the list [1] about this,
we concluded that srcu is a better alternative for use during rcu idle.
Although it does involve extra barriers, its lighter than the sched-rcu
version which has to do additional RCU calls to notify RCU idle about
entry into RCU sections.
In this patch, we change the underlying implementation of the
trace_*_rcuidle API to use SRCU. This has shown to improve performance
alot for the high frequency irq enable/disable tracepoints.
Test: Tested idle and preempt/irq tracepoints.
