Subject: [PATCH] tracepoint: add lockdep rcu_is_watching() check to trace_call__##name()
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 06:35:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430053511.8767-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)

trace_call__##name() was added by commit 677a3d82b640 ("tracepoint: Add
trace_call__##name() API") to let callers that already gate on
trace_##name##_enabled() skip the redundant static_branch_unlikely()
re-evaluation. The changelog states that the new helper retains the
LOCKDEP RCU-watching assertion carried by trace_##name(), but the
WARN_ONCE() was omitted from both definitions.

Without it, sites converted from trace_foo(args) to trace_call__foo(args)
lose the WARN_ONCE(!rcu_is_watching()) coverage under CONFIG_LOCKDEP when
the tracepoint is enabled - the case that commit c2679254b9c9 ("tracing:
Make tracepoint lockdep check actually test something") added the warning
for.

Mirror the same block in both trace_call__##name() bodies, gated by
(cond) in __DECLARE_TRACE to match its trace_##name() and ungated in
__DECLARE_TRACE_SYSCALL.

Fixes: 677a3d82b640 ("tracepoint: Add trace_call__##name() API")
