Now that account_hardirq_enter() is called after HARDIRQ_OFFSET has been incremented, there is nothing left that prevents us from also moving tick_irq_enter() after HARDIRQ_OFFSET is incremented. The desired outcome is to remove the nasty hack that prevents softirqs from being raised through ksoftirqd instead of the hardirq bottom half. Also tick_irq_enter() then becomes appropriately covered by lockdep.

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.
