With CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST, I had many suspicious RCU warnings when I ran ftracetest trigger testcases. ----- # dmesg -c > /dev/null # ./ftracetest test.d/trigger ... # dmesg | grep "RCU-list traversed" | cut -f 2 -d ] | cut -f 2 -d " " kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:6070 kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:1760 kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:5911 kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.c:504 kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:1810 kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:3158 kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:3105 kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:5518 kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:5998 kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:6019 kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:6044 kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.c:1500 kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.c:1540 kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.c:539 kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.c:584 ----- I investigated those warnings and found that the RCU-list traversals in event trigger and hist didn't need to use RCU version because those were called only under event_mutex. I also checked other RCU-list traversals related to event trigger list, and found that most of them were called from event_hist_trigger_func() or hist_unregister_trigger() or register/unregister functions except for a few cases. Replace these unneeded RCU-list traversals with normal list traversal macro and lockdep_assert_held() to check the event_mutex is held.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
