From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rost...@goodmis.org> Function tracing can trace in NMIs and such. If the TSC is determined to be unstable, the tracing clock will switch to the global clock on boot up, unless "trace_clock" is specified on the kernel command line.
The global clock disables interrupts to access sched_clock_cpu(), and in doing so can be done within lockdep internals (because of function tracing and NMIs). This can trigger false lockdep splats. The trace_clock_global() is special, best not to trace the irq logic within it.
