From 7c64cc0531fa0d9720f9e15a0a0d97bcad1d1cd1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 10:42:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] arm: Use _rcuidle for smp_cross_call() tracepoints Further testing with false negatives suppressed by commit 293e2421fe25 ("rcu: Remove superfluous versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held()") identified another unprotected use of RCU from the idle loop. Because RCU actively ignores idle-loop code (for energy-efficiency reasons, among other things), using RCU from the idle loop can result in too-short grace periods, in turn resulting in arbitrary misbehavior. The resulting lockdep-RCU splat is as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ =============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.6.0-rc5-next-20160426+ #1112 Not tainted ------------------------------- include/trace/events/ipi.h:35 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: RCU used illegally from idle CPU! rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0 RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state! no locks held by swapper/0/0. stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.6.0-rc5-next-20160426+ #1112 Hardware name: Generic OMAP4 (Flattened Device Tree) [] (unwind_backtrace) from [] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [] (show_stack) from [] (dump_stack+0xb0/0xe4) [] (dump_stack) from [] (smp_cross_call+0xbc/0x188) [] (smp_cross_call) from [] (generic_exec_single+0x9c/0x15c) [] (generic_exec_single) from [] (smp_call_function_single_async+0 x38/0x9c) [] (smp_call_function_single_async) from [] (cpuidle_coupled_poke_others+0x8c/0xa8) [] (cpuidle_coupled_poke_others) from [] (cpuidle_enter_state_coupled+0x26c/0x390) [] (cpuidle_enter_state_coupled) from [] (cpu_startup_entry+0x198/0x3a0) [] (cpu_startup_entry) from [] (start_kernel+0x354/0x3c8) [] (start_kernel) from [<8000807c>] (0x8000807c) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reported-by: Tony Lindgren Signed-off-by: Paul E.
