If a ftrace callback requires "rcu_is_watching", then it adds the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU flag and it will not be called if RCU is not "watching". But this means that it will use a trampoline when called, and this slows down the function tracing a tad. By checking rcu_is_watching() from within the callback, it no longer needs the RCU flag set in the ftrace_ops and it can be safely called directly.

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.
