The rcu_poll_gp_seq_end() and rcu_poll_gp_seq_end_unlocked() both check that interrupts are enabled, as they normally should be when waiting for an RCU grace period. Except that it is legal to wait for grace periods during early boot, before interrupts have been enabled for the first time, and polling for grace periods is required to work during this time. This can result in false-positive lockdep splats in the presence of boot-time-initiated tracing. This commit therefore conditions those interrupts-enabled checks on rcu_scheduler_active having advanced past RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE, by which time interrupts have been enabled.

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.
