From a5ccfee05a439b803640e94584056204501db31c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2012 14:29:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix RCU idle and hcall tracing Tracepoints should not be called inside an rcu_idle_enter/rcu_idle_exit region. Since pSeries calls H_CEDE in the idle loop, we were violating this rule. commit a7b152d5342c (powerpc: Tell RCU about idle after hcall tracing) tried to work around it by delaying the rcu_idle_enter until after we called the hcall tracepoint, but there are a number of issues with it. The hcall tracepoint trampoline code is called conditionally when the tracepoint is enabled. If the tracepoint is not enabled we never call rcu_idle_enter. The idle_uses_rcu check was also done at compile time which breaks multiplatform builds. The simple fix is to avoid tracing H_CEDE and rely on other tracepoints and the hypervisor dispatch trace log to work out if we called H_CEDE. This fixes a hang during boot on pSeries.
