Subject: x86/tlb/trace: Do not trace on CPU that is offline
From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6c8465a82a605bc692304bab42703017dcfff013 upstream.
When taking a CPU down for suspend and resume, a tracepoint may be called
when the CPU has been designated offline. As tracepoints require RCU for
protection, they must not be called if the current CPU is offline.
Unfortunately, trace_tlb_flush() is called in this scenario as was noted
by LOCKDEP:

other info that might help us debug this:

By converting the tlb_flush tracepoint to a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION where the
condition is cpu_online(smp_processor_id()), we can avoid calling RCU protected
code when the CPU is offline.
