6.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior bigeasy@linutronix.de
commit 9528d32873b38281ae105f2f5799e79ae9d086c2 upstream.
kcov_remote_start_usb_softirq() the begin of urb's completion callback. HCDs marked HCD_BH will invoke this function from the softirq and in_serving_softirq() will detect this properly. Root-HUB (RH) requests will not be delayed to softirq but complete immediately in IRQ context. This will confuse kcov because in_serving_softirq() will report true if the softirq is served after the hardirq and if the softirq got interrupted by the hardirq in which currently runs.
This was addressed by simply disabling interrupts in kcov_remote_start_usb_softirq() which avoided the interruption by the RH while a regular completion callback was invoked. This not only changes the behaviour while kconv is enabled but also breaks PREEMPT_RT because now sleeping locks can no longer be acquired.
Revert the previous fix. Address the issue by invoking kcov_remote_start_usb() only if the context is just "serving softirqs" which is identified by checking in_serving_softirq() and in_hardirq() must be false.
