Subject[RFC 2/3] preempt_tracer: Disable IRQ while starting/stopping due to a preempt_counter change
Date
The preempt_disable/enable tracepoint only traces in the disable <-> enable
case, which is correct. But think about this case:

---------------------------- %< ------------------------------
THREAD IRQ
| |
preempt_disable() {
__preempt_count_add(1)
-------> smp_apic_timer_interrupt() {
preempt_disable()
do not trace (preempt count >= 1)
....
preempt_enable()
do not trace (preempt count >= 1)
}
trace_preempt_disable();
}
---------------------------- >% ------------------------------

The tracepoint will be skipped.

It is possible to observe this problem using this kernel module:

http://bristot.me/files/efficient_verification/wip.tar.gz [*]

and doing the following trace:

# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# echo 1 > snapshot
# cat available_events | grep preempt_ > set_event
# echo irq_vectors >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event
# insmod wip.ko
/* wait for a snapshot creation */
# tail -100 snapshot
[...]

To avoid skipping the trace, the change in the counter should be "atomic"
with the start/stop, w.r.t the interrupts.

Disable interrupts while the adding/starting stopping/subtracting.
