In lockdep code, when trace_hardirqs_off is called,
trace_hardirqs_off_caller would pass CALLER_ADDR0 as
trace_hardirqs_off.

Because of this, the first argument passed to time_hardirqs_off would
always be an offset within trace_hardirqs_off:
time_hardirqs_off(CALLER_ADDR0, ip);

Is that intended? Seems to me that in the lockdep implementation of
trace_hardirqs_* in terms of *_caller(), we would completely miss the
second-last return address (CALLER_ADDR1) of trace_hardirqs_off().
Also for the above reasons, I don't think it doesn't make sense to use
this reuse logic for the tracer. Atleast I feel it might change the
current behavior of the preempt/irqsoff tracer which I don't intend to
change with my current patch set.

thanks,

- Joel
