Tracepoints require having RCU "watching" as it uses RCU to do updates to
the tracepoints. There are some cases that would call a tracepoint when
RCU was not "watching". This was usually in the idle path where RCU has
"shutdown". For the few locations that had tracepoints without RCU
watching, there was an trace_*_rcuidle() variant that could be used. This
used SRCU for protection.
There are tracepoints that trace when interrupts and preemption are
enabled and disabled. In some architectures, these tracepoints are called
in a path where RCU is not watching. When x86 and arm64 removed these
locations, it was incorrectly assumed that it would be safe to remove the
trace_*_rcuidle() variant and also remove the SRCU logic, as it made the
code more complex and harder to implement new tracepoint features (like
faultable tracepoints and tracepoints in rust).
Instead of bringing back the trace_*_rcuidle(), as it will not be trivial
to do as new code has already been added depending on its removal, add a
workaround to the one file that still requires it (trace_preemptirq.c). If
the architecture does not define CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR, then check if
the code is in the idle path, and if so, call ct_irq_enter/exit() which
will enable RCU around the tracepoint.

The trace_*_rcuidle() variant of a tracepoint was to handle places where a
tracepoint was located but RCU was not "watching". All those locations
have been removed, and RCU should be watching where all tracepoints are
located. We can now remove the trace_*_rcuidle() variant.

Robot reported that trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() tickle the forbidden
_rcuidle() tracepoint through local_irq_{en,dis}able().
For 'sane' configs, these calls will only happen with RCU enabled and
as such can use the regular tracepoint. This also means it's possible
to trace them from NMI context again.

Currently, The arguments passing to lockdep_hardirqs_{on,off} was fixed
in CALLER_ADDR0.
The function trace_hardirqs_on_caller should have been intended to use
caller_addr to represent the address that caller wants to be traced.
For example, lockdep log in riscv showing the last {enabled,disabled} at
__trace_hardirqs_{on,off} all the time(if called by):
[ 57.853175] hardirqs last enabled at (2519): __trace_hardirqs_on+0xc/0x14
[ 57.853848] hardirqs last disabled at (2520): __trace_hardirqs_off+0xc/0x14
After use trace_hardirqs_xx_caller, we can get more effective information:
[ 53.781428] hardirqs last enabled at (2595): restore_all+0xe/0x66
[ 53.782185] hardirqs last disabled at (2596): ret_from_exception+0xa/0x10

The typical pattern for trace_hardirqs_off_prepare() is:
ENTRY
lockdep_hardirqs_off(); // because hardware
... do entry magic
instrumentation_begin();
trace_hardirqs_off_prepare();
... do actual work
trace_hardirqs_on_prepare();
lockdep_hardirqs_on_prepare();
instrumentation_end();
... do exit magic
lockdep_hardirqs_on();
which shows that it's named wrong, rename it to
trace_hardirqs_off_finish(), as it concludes the hardirq_off transition.
Also, given that the above is the only correct order, make the traditional
all-in-one trace_hardirqs_off() follow suit.

trace_hardirqs_on/off() is only partially safe vs. RCU idle. The tracer
core itself is safe, but the resulting tracepoints can be utilized by
e.g. BPF which is unsafe.
Provide variants which do not contain the lockdep invocation so the lockdep
and tracer invocations can be split at the call site and placed
properly. This is required because lockdep needs to be aware of the state
before switching away from RCU idle and after switching to RCU idle because
these transitions can take locks.
As these code pathes are going to be non-instrumentable the tracer can be
invoked after RCU is turned on and before the switch to RCU idle. So for
these new variants there is no need to invoke the rcuidle aware tracer
functions.
Name them so they match the lockdep counterparts.

Joel Fernandes created a nice patch that cleaned up the duplicate hooks used
by lockdep and irqsoff latency tracer. It made both use tracepoints. But the
latency tracer is triggering warnings when using tracepoints to call into
the latency tracer's routines. Mainly, they can be called from NMI context.
If that happens, then the SRCU may not work properly because on some
architectures, SRCU is not safe to be called in both NMI and non-NMI
context.
This is a partial revert of the clean up patch c3bc8fd637 ("tracing:
Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage") that adds back the
direct calls into the latency tracer. It also only calls the trace events
when not in NMI.

Joel Fernandes created a nice patch that cleaned up the duplicate hooks used
by lockdep and irqsoff latency tracer. It made both use tracepoints. But it
caused lockdep to trigger several false positives. We have not figured out
why yet, but removing lockdep from using the trace event hooks and just call
its helper functions directly (like it use to), makes the problem go away.
This is a partial revert of the clean up patch c3bc8fd637 ("tracing:
Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage") that adds direct
calls for lockdep, but also keeps most of the clean up done to get rid of
the horrible preprocessor if statements.

This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and
keeps it separate.
Advantages:
* Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer
have their own calls.
* This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson
event, and a preemptoff and preempton event.
3 users of the events exist:
- Lockdep
- irqsoff and preemptoff tracers
- irqs and preempt trace events
The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt
tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific
ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different
users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid
of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into
the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in
lines of code in this patch is quite large too.
In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS
as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With
this,
the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its
users becomes:
PREEMPT_TRACER PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING

\ (selects) / \ \ (selects) /

Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also
ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are
passing.
I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the
tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed
working.
