x86/tlb/trace: Do not trace on CPU that is offline
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When taking a CPU down for suspend and resume, a tracepoint may be called
when the CPU has been designated offline. As tracepoints require RCU for
protection, they must not be called if the current CPU is offline.

Unfortunately, trace_tlb_flush() is called in this scenario as was noted
by LOCKDEP:

...

 Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
 intel_pstate CPU 1 exiting

 ===============================
 smpboot: CPU 1 didn't die...
 [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
 3.19.0-rc7-next-20150204.1-iniza-small #1 Not tainted
 -------------------------------
 include/trace/events/tlb.h:35 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
 rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
 no locks held by swapper/1/0.

By converting the tlb_flush tracepoint to a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION where the
condition is cpu_online(smp_processor_id()), we can avoid calling RCU protected
code when the CPU is offline.
