Prior to commit:
859d069ee1 ("lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking")
IRQ state tracking was disabled in NMIs due to nmi_enter()
doing lockdep_off() -- with the obvious requirement that NMI entry
call nmi_enter() before trace_hardirqs_off().
[ AFAICT, PowerPC and SH violate this order on their NMI entry ]
However, that commit explicitly changed lockdep_hardirqs_*() to ignore
lockdep_off() and breaks every architecture that has irq-tracing in
it's NMI entry that hasn't been fixed up (x86 being the only fixed one
at this point).
The reason for this change is that by ignoring lockdep_off() we can:
- get rid of 'current->lockdep_recursion' in lockdep_assert_irqs*()
which was going to to give header-recursion issues with the
seqlock rework.
- allow these lockdep_assert_*() macros to function in NMI context.
Restore the previous state of things and allow an architecture to
opt-in to the NMI IRQ tracking support, however instead of relying on
lockdep_off(), rely on in_nmi(), both are part of nmi_enter() and so
over-all entry ordering doesn't need to change.
