Subject: rcu: Add _notrace variation of rcu_dereference_raw() and hlist_for_each_entry_rcu()
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=12bcbe66d7b3cc9f9f86cd02f925666eaa3c2107;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

rcu: Add _notrace variation of rcu_dereference_raw() and hlist_for_each_entry_rcu()

As rcu_dereference_raw() under RCU debug config options can add quite a
bit of checks, and that tracing uses rcu_dereference_raw(), these checks
happen with the function tracer. The function tracer also happens to trace
these debug checks too. This added overhead can livelock the system.

Add a new interface to RCU for both rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() as well
as hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_notrace() as the hlist iterator uses the
rcu_dereference_raw() as well, and is used a bit with the function tracer.
