sched/core: More notrace annotations
preempt_schedule_common() is marked notrace, but it does not use
_notrace() preempt_count functions and __schedule() is also not marked
notrace, which means that its perfectly possible to end up in the
tracer from preempt_schedule_common().
Steve says:
| Yep, there's some history to this. This was originally the issue that
| caused function tracing to go into infinite recursion. But now we have
| preempt_schedule_notrace(), which is used by the function tracer, and
| that function must not be traced till preemption is disabled.
|
| Now if function tracing is running and we take an interrupt when
| NEED_RESCHED is set, it calls
|
| preempt_schedule_common() (not traced)
|
| But then that calls preempt_disable() (traced)
|
| function tracer calls preempt_disable_notrace() followed by
| preempt_enable_notrace() which will see NEED_RESCHED set, and it will
| call preempt_schedule_notrace(), which stops the recursion, but
| still calls __schedule() here, and that means when we return, we call
| the __schedule() from preempt_schedule_common().
|
| That said, I prefer this patch. Preemption is disabled before calling
| __schedule(), and we get rid of a one round recursion with the
| scheduler.
