Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tracing: Add back in rcu_irq_enter/exit_irqson() for rcuidle
 tracepoints

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

Borislav reported the following splat:

 =============================
 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

 other info that might help us debug this:

 RCU used illegally from idle CPU!

 RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!

This is due to the tracepoints moving to SRCU usage which does not require
RCU to be "watching". But perf uses these tracepoints with RCU and expects
it to be. Hence, we still need to add in the rcu_irq_enter/exit_irqson()
calls for "rcuidle" tracepoints. This is a temporary fix until we have SRCU
working in NMI context, and then perf can be converted to use that instead
of normal RCU.
