Subject: [PATCH powerpc] fix unpaired probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit
Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2011 10:03:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1324260184.3006.15.camel@ThinkPad-T61> (raw)

Unpaired calling of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit might happen
as following, which could cause incorrect preempt count. 

__trace_hcall_entry => trace_hcall_entry -> probe_hcall_entry =>
get_cpu_var => preempt_disable

__trace_hcall_exit => trace_hcall_exit -> probe_hcall_exit =>
put_cpu_var => preempt_enable

where: 
A => B and A -> B means A calls B, but
=> means A will call B through function name, and B will definitely be
called.
-> means A will call B through function pointer, so B might not be
called if the function pointer is not set.

So error happens when only one of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit
get called during a hcall.

This patch tries to move the preempt count operations from
probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit to its callers.
