IRQ time entry is currently accounted before HARDIRQ_OFFSET or SOFTIRQ_OFFSET are incremented. This is convenient to decide to which index the cputime to account is dispatched. Unfortunately it prevents tick_irq_enter() from being called under HARDIRQ_OFFSET because tick_irq_enter() has to be called before the IRQ entry accounting due to the necessary clock catch up. As a result we don't benefit from appropriate lockdep coverage on tick_irq_enter(). To prepare for fixing this, move the IRQ entry cputime accounting after the preempt offset is incremented. This requires the cputime dispatch code to handle the extra offset.

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.
