After switching to the builtin 'wip' monitor and enable it and the
'printk' reactor...

the dmesg shows below information with that enabled 'wip' monitor:

root@robotics:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/rv/monitors# dmesg
...
[  332.834168] rv: monitor wip does not allow event sched_waking on
state preemptive
[  353.833699] rv: monitor wip does not allow event sched_waking on
state preemptive
[  354.833679] rv: monitor wip does not allow event sched_waking on
state preemptive
...
I took a look at the discussion at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/f2ca7336162b6dc45f413cfe4e0056e6aa32e7ed.1559051152.git.bristot@xxxxxxxxxx/
seems that patch was trying to resolve the limitation of the tracing:
the __preempt_count_add() and its trace func is not atomic, does that
mean this issue is still in my system from the dmesg output above?
Another question is, except that the trace limitation, do we have some
specific examples to show that maybe an 'unexpected' event happens
against the current state?

Thanks!
