Subject: [PATCH v8 0/8] Centralize and unify usage of preempt/irq tracepoints

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

The preempt/irq tracepoints exist but not everything in the kernel is
using it during preempt/irq on/off events. 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 the kernel in general. Several ifdefs are
simpler, and the design is more unified and better. Also as a result of
this, we also speeded up  performance all rcuidle tracepoints since
their handling is simpler.

v7->v8:
- Refactored irqsoff tracer probe defines based on Namhyung's
  suggestions. No functional change.

v6->v7:
- Added a module to simulate an atomic section, a kselftest to load and
  and trigger it which verifies the preempt-tracer and this series.

- Fixed 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}
