tracepoints: Free early tracepoints after RCU is initialized
When enabling trace events via the kernel command line, I hit this warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 13 at kernel/rcu/srcutree.c:236 check_init_srcu_struct+0xe/0x61 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 13 Comm: watchdog/0 Not tainted 4.18.0-rc6-test+ #6 Hardware name: MSI MS-7823/CSM-H87M-G43 (MS-7823), BIOS V1.6 02/22/2014 RIP: 0010:check_init_srcu_struct+0xe/0x61 Code: 48 c7 c6 ec 8a 65 b4 e8 ff 79 fe ff 48 89 df 31 f6 e8 f2 fa ff ff 5a 5b 41 5c 5d c3 0f 1f 44 00 00 83 3d 68 94 b8 01 01 75 02 <0f> 0b 48 8b 87 f0 0a 00 00 a8 03 74 45 55 48 89 e5 41 55 41 54 4c RSP: 0000:ffff96eb9ea03e68 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: ffff96eb962b5b01 RBX: ffffffffb4a87420 RCX: 0000000000000001 RDX: ffffffffb3107969 RSI: ffff96eb962b5b40 RDI: ffffffffb4a87420 RBP: ffff96eb9ea03eb0 R08: ffffabbd00cd7f48 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffff96eb9ea03e68 R11: ffffffffb4a6eec0 R12: ffff96eb962b5b40 R13: ffff96eb9ea03ef8 R14: ffffffffb3107969 R15: ffffffffb3107948 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff96eb9ea00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffff96eb13ab2000 CR3: 0000000192a1e001 CR4: 00000000001606f0 Call Trace: <IRQ> ? __call_srcu+0x2d/0x290 ? rcu_process_callbacks+0x26e/0x448 ? allocate_probes+0x2b/0x2b call_srcu+0x13/0x15 rcu_free_old_probes+0x1f/0x21 rcu_process_callbacks+0x2ed/0x448 __do_softirq+0x172/0x336 irq_exit+0x62/0xb2 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x161/0x19e apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20 </IRQ> The problem is that the enabling of trace events before RCU is set up will cause SRCU to give this warning. To avoid this, add a list to store probes that need to be freed till after RCU is initialized, and then free them then.
