Steven Rostedt (VMware) 68a735eb9a printk/tracing: Do not trace printk_nmi_enter()
commit d1c392c9e2 upstream.

I hit the following splat in my tests:

After a bit of debugging, I found what was happening. This would trigger
when performing "perf" with a high NMI interrupt rate, while enabling and
disabling function tracer. Ftrace uses breakpoints to convert the nops at
the start of functions to calls to the function trampolines. The breakpoint
traps disable interrupts and this makes calls into lockdep via the
trace_hardirqs_off_thunk in the entry.S code. What happens is the following:

  do_idle {

    [interrupts enabled]

    <interrupt> [interrupts disabled]
	TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off]
	[...]
	TRACE_IRQS_IRET
	    test if pt_regs say return to interrupts enabled [yes]
	    TRACE_IRQS_ON [lockdep says irqs are on]

	    <nmi>
		nmi_enter() {
		    printk_nmi_enter() [traced by ftrace]
		    [ hit ftrace breakpoint ]
		    <breakpoint exception>
			TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off]
			[...]
			TRACE_IRQS_IRET [return from breakpoint]
			   test if pt_regs say interrupts enabled [no]
			   [iret back to interrupt]
	   [iret back to code]

    tick_nohz_idle_enter() {

	lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled() [lockdep say no!]

Although interrupts are indeed enabled, lockdep thinks it is not, and since
we now do asserts via lockdep, it gives a false warning. The issue here is
that printk_nmi_enter() is called before lockdep_off(), which disables
lockdep (for this reason) in NMIs. By simply not allowing ftrace to see
printk_nmi_enter() (via notrace annotation) we keep lockdep from getting
confused.
