There are two WARN_ON*() warnings in tracepoint.h that deal with RCU
usage. But when they trigger, especially from using a TRACE_EVENT()
macro, the information is not very helpful and is confusing:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at include/trace/events/lock.h:24 lock_acquire+0x2b2/0x2d0
Where the above warning takes you to:
TRACE_EVENT(lock_acquire, <<<--- line 24 in lock.h
TP_PROTO(struct lockdep_map *lock, unsigned int subclass,
int trylock, int read, int check,
struct lockdep_map *next_lock, unsigned long ip),
[..]
Change the WARN_ON_ONCE() to WARN_ONCE() and add a string that allows
someone to search for exactly where the bug happened.
