Hello!
This is version 2 of a patch series introducing SRCU-fast to the
__DECLARE_TRACE() in place of the current preemption disabling.
This change enable preemption of BPF programs attached to tracepoints
in in, as is required for runtime use of BPF in real-time systems.
The patches are as follows:
1. Move rcu_is_watching() checks to srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast().
2. Add srcu_read_lock_fast_notrace() and
srcu_read_unlock_fast_notrace().
3. Add guards for notrace variants of SRCU-fast readers.
4. Guard __DECLARE_TRACE() use of __DO_TRACE_CALL() with SRCU-fast.
Changes since RFC version:
o RFC patch 6/4 has been pulled into the shared RCU tree:
e88c632a8698 ("srcu: Add guards for SRCU-fast readers")
o RFC patch 5/4 (which removed the now-unnecessary special boot-time
avoidance of SRCU) has been folded into patch 4/4 shown above,
as suggested by Steven Rostedt.
Thanx, Paul
