[patch 045/114] kcov: simplify interrupt check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kcov: simplify interrupt check

in_interrupt() semantics are confusing and wrong for most users as it also
returns true when bh is disabled.  Thus we open coded a proper check for
interrupts in __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() with a lengthy explanatory
comment.

Use the new in_task() predicate instead.
