From 68a735eb9a16147a85024c47e6176fe4599b91ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2018 16:29:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] printk/tracing: Do not trace printk_nmi_enter() commit d1c392c9e2a301f38998a353f467f76414e38725 upstream.

This would trigger when performing "perf" with a high NMI interrupt rate, while enabling and disabling function tracer. Ftrace uses breakpoints to convert the nops at the start of functions to calls to the function trampolines. The breakpoint traps disable interrupts and this makes calls into lockdep via the trace_hardirqs_off_thunk in the entry.S code. What happens is the following: do_idle { [interrupts enabled] [interrupts disabled] TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off] [...] TRACE_IRQS_IRET test if pt_regs say return to interrupts enabled [yes] TRACE_IRQS_ON [lockdep says irqs are on] nmi_enter() { printk_nmi_enter() [traced by ftrace] [ hit ftrace breakpoint ] TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off] [...] TRACE_IRQS_IRET [return from breakpoint] test if pt_regs say interrupts enabled [no] [iret back to interrupt] [iret back to code] tick_nohz_idle_enter() { lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled() [lockdep say no!] Although interrupts are indeed enabled, lockdep thinks it is not, and since we now do asserts via lockdep, it gives a false warning. The issue here is that printk_nmi_enter() is called before lockdep_off(), which disables lockdep (for this reason) in NMIs. By simply not allowing ftrace to see printk_nmi_enter() (via notrace annotation) we keep lockdep from getting confused.
