kcov: replace local_irq_save() with a local_lock_t
[ Upstream commit d5d2c51f1e5f56ed01d2c773974630c007e5e5f5 ] The kcov code mixes local_irq_save() and spin_lock() in kcov_remote_{start|end}(). This creates a warning on PREEMPT_RT because local_irq_save() disables interrupts and spin_lock_t is turned into a sleeping lock which can not be acquired in a section with disabled interrupts. The kcov_remote_lock is used to synchronize the access to the hash-list kcov_remote_map. The local_irq_save() block protects access to the per-CPU data kcov_percpu_data. There is no compelling reason to change the lock type to raw_spin_lock_t to make it work with local_irq_save(). Changing it would require to move memory allocation (in kcov_remote_add()) and deallocation outside of the locked section. Adding an unlimited amount of entries to the hashlist will increase the IRQ-off time during lookup. It could be argued that this is debug code and the latency does not matter. There is however no need to do so and it would allow to use this facility in an RT enabled build. Using a local_lock_t instead of local_irq_save() has the befit of adding a protection scope within the source which makes it obvious what is protected. On a !PREEMPT_RT && !LOCKDEP build the local_lock_irqsave() maps directly to local_irq_save() so there is overhead at runtime. Replace the local_irq_save() section with a local_lock_t.
