SubjectRe: [PATCH RFC v5 1/6] softirq: reorder trace_softirqs_on to prevent lockdep splat

Needs more info in the change log. It also requires that
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKED=y is set.

Add this to the change log:

The issue was this:

Start with: preempt_count = 1 << SOFTIRQ_SHIFT

__local_bh_enable(cnt = 1 << SOFTIRQ_SHIFT) {
if (softirq_count() == (cnt && SOFTIRQ_MASK)) {
trace_softirqs_on() {
current->softirqs_enabled = 1;
}
}
preempt_count_sub(cnt) {
trace_preempt_on() {
tracepoint() {
rcu_read_lock_sched() {
// jumps into lockdep

Where preempt_count still has softirqs disabled, but
current->softirqs_enabled is true, and we get a splat.

This patch should be separate (as you had it before), and needs to be
submitted now because it already causes issues. We can add:

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: d59158162e032 ("tracing: Add support for preempt and irq enable/disable events")
