tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled
Dave Jones reported seeing a bug from one of my TLB tracepoints:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140806181801.GA4605@redhat.com
I've been running these patches for months and never saw this.
But, a big chunk of my testing, especially with all the debugging
enabled, was in a vm where intel_idle doesn't work. On the
systems where I was using intel_idle, I never had lockdep enabled
and this tracepoint on at the same time.
This patch ensures that whenever we have lockdep available, we do
_some_ RCU activity at the site of the tracepoint, despite
whether the tracepoint's condition matches or even if the
tracepoint itself is completely disabled. This is a bit of a
hack, but it is pretty self-contained.
I confirmed that with this patch plus lockdep I get the same
splat as Dave Jones did, but without enabling the tracepoint
explicitly.
