powerpc/trace: Fix interrupt tracepoints vs. RCU
There are a few tracepoints in the interrupt code path, which is before irq_enter(), or after irq_exit(), like trace_irq_entry()/trace_irq_exit() in do_IRQ(), trace_timer_interrupt_entry()/trace_timer_interrupt_exit() in timer_interrupt(). If the interrupt is from idle(), and because tracepoint contains RCU read-side critical section, we could see following suspicious RCU usage reported: [ 145.127743] =============================== [ 145.127747] [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] [ 145.127752] 3.6.0-rc3+ #1 Not tainted [ 145.127755] ------------------------------- [ 145.127759] /root/.workdir/linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/trace.h:33 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

Move them into the irq_enter()/irq_exit() area to avoid the reporting. Signed-off-by: Li Zhong <zhong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
