It is due to running a CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernel, which would trigger
this warning every time:
WARN_ON_ONCE(preempt_count());
Because on CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, preempt_count() is always zero.
This warning is to make sure preempt_count is set because
tracer_hardirqs_on() does a preempt_enable_notrace() to make the
preempt_trace() work properly, as being called by a trace event, the trace
event code disables preemption, and the tracer wants to know what the
preemption was before it was called.
Instead of enabling preemption like this, just record the preempt_count,
subtract PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET from it (which is zero with !CONFIG_PREEMPT
set), and pass that value to the necessary functions, which should use the
passed in parameter instead of calling preempt_count() directly.
