Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"During testing Sedat Dilek hit a "suspicious RCU usage" splat that
pointed out a real bug. During suspend and resume the tlb_flush
tracepoint is called when the CPU is going offline. As the CPU has
been noted as offline, RCU is ignoring that CPU, which means that it
can not use RCU protected locks. When tracepoints are activated, they
require RCU locking, and if RCU is ignoring a CPU that runs a
tracepoint, there is a chance that the tracepoint could cause
corruption.
The solution was to change the tracepoint into a
TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() which allows us to check a condition to
determine if the tracepoint should be called or not. If the condition
is not met, the rcu protected code will not be executed. By adding
the condition "cpu_online(smp_processor_id())", this will prevent the
RCU protected code from being executed if the CPU is marked offline.
After adding this, another bug was discovered. As RCU checks rcu
callers, if a rcu call is not done, there is no check (obviously). We
found that tracepoints could be added in RCU ignored locations and not
have lockdep complain until the tracepoint is activated. This missed
places where tracepoints were added in places they should not have
been. To fix this, code was added in 3.18 that if lockdep is enabled,
any tracepoint will still call the rcu checks even if the tracepoint
is not enabled. The bug here, is that the check does not take the
CONDITION into account. As the condition may prevent tracepoints from
being activated in RCU ignored areas (as the one patch does), we get
false positives when we enable lockdep and hit a tracepoint that the
condition prevents it from being called in a RCU ignored location.
The fix for this is to add the CONDITION to the rcu checks, even if
the tracepoint is not enabled"
