From 24811637dbfd07c69da7e9db586d35d17e6afca3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 27 May 2019 10:23:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] locking/lock_events: Use raw_cpu_{add,inc}() for stats Instead of playing silly games with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT toggling between this_cpu_*() and __this_cpu_*() use raw_cpu_*(), which is exactly what we want here.
