Nicholas Piggin 044d0d6de9 lockdep: Only trace IRQ edges
Problem:

  raw_local_irq_save(); // software state on
  local_irq_save(); // software state off
  ...
  local_irq_restore(); // software state still off, because we don't enable IRQs
  raw_local_irq_restore(); // software state still off, *whoopsie*

existing instances:

 - lock_acquire()
     raw_local_irq_save()
     __lock_acquire()
       arch_spin_lock(&graph_lock)
         pv_wait() := kvm_wait() (same or worse for Xen/HyperV)
           local_irq_save()

 - trace_clock_global()
     raw_local_irq_save()
     arch_spin_lock()
       pv_wait() := kvm_wait()
	 local_irq_save()

 - apic_retrigger_irq()
     raw_local_irq_save()
     apic->send_IPI() := default_send_IPI_single_phys()
       local_irq_save()

Possible solutions:

 A) make it work by enabling the tracing inside raw_*()
 B) make it work by keeping tracing disabled inside raw_*()
 C) call it broken and clean it up now

Now, given that the only reason to use the raw_* variant is because you don't
want tracing. Therefore A) seems like a weird option (although it can be done).
C) is tempting, but OTOH it ends up converting a _lot_ of code to raw just
because there is one raw user, this strips the validation/tracing off for all
the other users.

So we pick B) and declare any code that ends up doing:

	raw_local_irq_save()
	local_irq_save()
	lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled();

broken. AFAICT this problem has existed forever, the only reason it came
up is because commit: 859d069ee1 ("lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ
state tracking") changed IRQ tracing vs lockdep recursion and the
first instance is fairly common, the other cases hardly ever happen.
