When an exception/interrupt hits kernel space and the kernel is not
currently in the idle task then RCU must be watching.
irqentry_enter() validates this via rcu_irq_enter_check_tick(), which in
turn invokes lockdep when taking a lock. But at that point lockdep does not
yet know about the fact that interrupts have been disabled by the CPU,
which triggers a lockdep splat complaining about inconsistent state.
Invoking trace_hardirqs_off() before rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() defeats the
point of rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() because trace_hardirqs_off() uses RCU.
So use the same sequence as for the idle case and tell lockdep about the
irq state change first, invoke the RCU check and then do the lockdep and
tracer update.

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.
