The kernel test robot has reported that the use of __this_cpu_add() causes bug messages like: BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: ... Given the imprecise nature of the count and the possibility of resetting the count and doing the measurement again, this is not really a big problem to use the unprotected __this_cpu_*() functions. To make the preemption checking code happy, the this_cpu_*() functions will be used if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is defined. The imprecise nature of the locking counts are also documented with the suggestion that we should run the measurement a few times with the counts reset in between to get a better picture of what is going on under the hood.

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.
