Subject: [PATCH v2] tracepoint: add lockdep rcu_is_watching() check to trace_##name##_enabled()
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:41:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430144159.10985-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430053511.8767-1-devnexen@gmail.com>

trace_call__##name() was added by commit 677a3d82b640 ("tracepoint: Add
trace_call__##name() API") for callers that already gate on
trace_##name##_enabled(), letting them skip the redundant
static_branch_unlikely() re-evaluation. The LOCKDEP rcu_is_watching()
WARN_ONCE() that trace_##name() carries on the disabled path was not
mirrored, so the cold-path coverage added by commit c2679254b9c9
("tracing: Make tracepoint lockdep check actually test something") is
lost for trace_call__##name() callers when the tracepoint is disabled.

When the tracepoint is enabled, the rcu_dereference inside
__DO_TRACE_CALL() already trips under PROVE_RCU, so the warning is
only needed on the !enabled path. The natural place is the gate that
trace_call__##name() callers consult: trace_##name##_enabled().

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