commit c0a581d7126c0bbc96163276f585fd7b4e4d8d0e upstream. It was found that some tracing functions in kernel/trace/trace.c acquire an arch_spinlock_t with preemption and irqs enabled. An example is the tracing_saved_cmdlines_size_read() function which intermittently causes a "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible" warning when the LTP read_all_proc test is run. That can be problematic in case preemption happens after acquiring the lock. Add the necessary preemption or interrupt disabling code in the appropriate places before acquiring an arch_spinlock_t. The convention here is to disable preemption for trace_cmdline_lock and interupt for max_lock.

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.
