The thinking in commit:fddf9055a6("lockdep: Use raw_cpu_*() for per-cpu variables") is flawed. While it is true that when we're migratable both CPUs will have a 0 value, it doesn't hold that when we do get migrated in the middle of a raw_cpu_op(), the old CPU will still have 0 by the time we get around to reading it on the new CPU. Luckily, the reason for that commit (s390 using preempt_disable() instead of preempt_disable_notrace() in their percpu code), has since been fixed by commit:1196f12a2c("s390: don't trace preemption in percpu macros") An audit of arch/*/include/asm/percpu*.h shows there are no other architectures affected by this particular issue.

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.
