<content type='text'>
Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

Stephen Rothwell reported:

&gt; Exported symbols need to be &lt;= (64 - sizeof(Elf_Addr)) long.  This is
&gt; presumably 56 on 64 bit arches and the above symbol (including the '.')
&gt; is 56 characters long.

Shorten the tracepoint symbol name.

<title>tracepoint: Optimize using static_call()</title>

Currently the tracepoint site will iterate a vector and issue indirect
calls to however many handlers are registered (ie. the vector is
long).

Using static_call() it is possible to optimize this for the common
case of only having a single handler registered. In this case the
static_call() can directly call this handler. Otherwise, if the vector
is longer than 1, call a function that iterates the whole vector like
the current code.

compiler_attributes.h does feature detection of these __attributes__(())

<title>tracepoint: Mark __tracepoint_string's __used</title>

__tracepoint_string's have their string data stored in .rodata, and an
address to that data stored in the "__tracepoint_str" section. Functions
that refer to those strings refer to the symbol of the address. Compiler
optimization can replace those address references with references
directly to the string data. If the address doesn't appear to have other
uses, then it appears dead to the compiler and is removed. This can
break the /tracing/printk_formats sysfs node which iterates the
addresses stored in the "__tracepoint_str" section.

Like other strings stored in custom sections in this header, mark these
__used to inform the compiler that there are other non-obvious users of
the address, so they should still be emitted.

This macro was intentionally broken so that the kernel code is not
poluted with such noargs macro used simply as markers. This use case
can be satisfied by using dummy no inline functions. Just remove it.

Sometimes we want to define a tracepoint as a do-nothing function.
So I introduce TRACE_EVENT_NOP, DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS_NOP and
DEFINE_EVENT_NOP for this kind of usage.

Pull RCU changes from Paul E. McKenney:

- Convert RCU's BUG_ON() and similar calls to WARN_ON() and similar.

- Replace calls of RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions
  to their vanilla RCU counterparts.  This series is a step
  towards complete removal of the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side
  functions.

  ( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
    respective maintainers. )

- Documentation updates, including a number of flavor-consolidation
  updates from Joel Fernandes.

- Miscellaneous fixes.

- Automate generation of the initrd filesystem used for
  rcutorture testing.

- Convert spin_is_locked() assertions to instead use lockdep.

  ( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
    respective maintainers. )

- SRCU updates, especially including a fix from Dennis Krein
  for a bag-on-head-class bug.

- RCU torture-test updates.

After enabling KVM event tracing, almost all of trace_kvm_exit()'s
printk shows

	"kvm_exit: IRQ: ..."

even if the actual exception_type is NOT IRQ.  More specifically,
trace_kvm_exit() is defined in virt/kvm/arm/trace.h by TRACE_EVENT.

This slight problem may have existed after commit e6753f23d961
("tracepoint: Make rcuidle tracepoint callers use SRCU"). There are
two variables in trace_kvm_exit() and __DO_TRACE() which have the
same name, *idx*. Thus the actual value of *idx* will be overwritten
when tracing. Fix it by adding a simple prefix.
