[PATCH 0/4] KVM: PPC: Book3S: PR: Fix with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When we run book3s pr kvm with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y badness occurs.

The reason is that we don't expect interrups to occur in the exit
path until we hit the point where we enable interrupts (after the
svcpu sync).

However thanks to our manual interrupt replay logic we do get
preempted because the interrupt handler thinks we have interrupts
enabled.

While debugging this I also stumbled over a register clobbering
issue that this patch set also fixes.

I would consider all of these patches for 3.13 with CC on stable
once they're through review.
