Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] trace/preemptirq: Implement trace_irqflags hooks
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 09:50:18 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311125021.197638-5-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260311125021.197638-1-wander@redhat.com>
The previous commit introduced the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_TOGGLE symbol.
This patch implements the actual infrastructure to allow tracing
irq_disable and irq_enable events without pulling in the heavy
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS dependencies like lockdep or the irqsoff tracer.
The implementation hooks into the local_irq_* macros in irqflags.h.
Instead of using the heavy trace_hardirqs_on/off calls, it uses
lightweight tracepoint_enabled() checks. If the tracepoint is enabled,
it calls into specific wrapper functions in trace_preemptirq.c.
These wrappers check the raw hardware state via raw_irqs_disabled() to
filter out redundant events, such as disabling interrupts when they
are already disabled. This approach is simpler than the full
TRACE_IRQFLAGS method which requires maintaining a per-cpu software
state variable.
To support this, the tracepoint definitions are exposed under the new
configuration. Additionally, a circular header dependency involving
irqflags.h, tracepoint-defs.h, and atomic.h is resolved by moving the
atomic.h inclusion to tracepoint.h, allowing irqflags.h to include
tracepoint-defs.h safely.
