The trace_tlb_flush() tracepoint can be called when a CPU is going offline.
When a CPU is offline, RCU is no longer watching that CPU and since the
tracepoint is protected by RCU, it must not be called. To prevent the
tlb_flush tracepoint from being called when the CPU is offline, it was
converted to a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION where the condition checks if the
CPU is online before calling the tracepoint.

Unfortunately, this was not enough to stop lockdep from complaining about
it. Even though the RCU protected code of the tracepoint will never be
called, the condition is hidden within the tracepoint, and even though the
condition prevents RCU code from being called, the lockdep checks are
outside the tracepoint (this is to test tracepoints even when they are not
enabled).

Even though tracepoints should be checked to be RCU safe when they are not
enabled, the condition should still be considered when checking RCU.

[PATCH 2/2] x86/tlb/trace: Do not trace on CPU that is offline

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-x86-tlb-trace-Do-not-trace-on-CPU-that-is-offline.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3066 bytes --]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When taking a CPU down for suspend and resume, a tracepoint may be called
when the CPU has been designated offline. As tracepoints require RCU for
protection, they must not be called if the current CPU is offline.

Unfortunately, trace_tlb_flush() is called in this scenario as was noted
by LOCKDEP:

...

 Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
 intel_pstate CPU 1 exiting

 ===============================
 smpboot: CPU 1 didn't die...

 3.19.0-rc7-next-20150204.1-iniza-small #1 Not tainted
 -------------------------------
 include/trace/events/tlb.h:35 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
 rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
 no locks held by swapper/1/0.

...

By converting the tlb_flush tracepoint to a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION where the
condition is cpu_online(smp_processor_id()), we can avoid calling RCU protected
code when the CPU is offline.
