Commit 1a6b69b6548c (ARM: gic: add CPU migration support, 2012-04-12) introduced an acquisition of the irq_controller_lock in gic_raise_softirq() which can lead to a spinlock recursion if the gic_arch_extn hooks call into the scheduler (via complete() or wake_up(), etc.). This happens because gic_arch_extn hooks are normally called with the irq_controller_lock held and calling into the scheduler may cause us to call smp_send_reschedule() which will grab the irq_controller_lock again. Here's an example from a vendor kernel (note that the gic_arch_extn hook code here isn't actually in mainline): BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, swapper/0/1 lock: irq_controller_lock+0x0/0x18, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: sw er_cpu: 0 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.14.10-00430-g3d433c4e Call trace: [<ffffffc000087e1c>] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x140 [<ffffffc000087f6c>] show_stack+0x10/0x1c [<ffffffc00064732c>] dump_stack+0x74/0xc4 [<ffffffc0006446c0>] spin_dump+0x78/0x88 [<ffffffc0006446f4>] spin_bug+0x24/0x34 [<ffffffc0000d47d0>] do_raw_spin_lock+0x58/0x148 [<ffffffc00064d398>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x24/0x38 [<ffffffc0002c9d7c>] gic_raise_softirq+0x2c/0xbc [<ffffffc00008daa4>] smp_send_reschedule+0x34/0x40 [<ffffffc0000c1e94>] try_to_wake_up+0x224/0x288 [<ffffffc0000c1f4c>] default_wake_function+0xc/0x18 [<ffffffc0000ceef0>] __wake_up_common+0x50/0x8c [<ffffffc0000cef3c>] __wake_up_locked+0x10/0x1c [<ffffffc0000cf734>] complete+0x3c/0x5c [<ffffffc0002f0e78>] msm_mpm_enable_irq_exclusive+0x1b8/0x1c8 [<ffffffc0002f0f58>] __msm_mpm_enable_irq+0x4c/0x7c [<ffffffc0002f0f94>] msm_mpm_enable_irq+0xc/0x18 [<ffffffc0002c9bb0>] gic_unmask_irq+0x40/0x7c [<ffffffc0000de5f4>] irq_enable+0x2c/0x48 [<ffffffc0000de65c>] irq_startup+0x4c/0x74 [<ffffffc0000dd2fc>] __setup_irq+0x264/0x3f0 [<ffffffc0000dd5e0>] request_threaded_irq+0xcc/0x11c [<ffffffc0000df254>] devm_request_threaded_irq+0x68/0xb4 [<ffffffc000471520>] msm_iommu_ctx_probe+0x124/0x2d4 [<ffffffc000337374>] platform_drv_probe+0x20/0x54 [<ffffffc00033598c>] driver_probe_device+0x158/0x340 [<ffffffc000335c20>] __driver_attach+0x60/0x90 [<ffffffc000333c9c>] bus_for_each_dev+0x6c/0x8c [<ffffffc000335304>] driver_attach+0x1c/0x28 [<ffffffc000334f14>] bus_add_driver+0x120/0x204 [<ffffffc0003362e4>] driver_register+0xbc/0x10c [<ffffffc000337348>] __platform_driver_register+0x5c/0x68 [<ffffffc00094c478>] msm_iommu_driver_init+0x54/0x7c [<ffffffc0000813ec>] do_one_initcall+0xa4/0x130 [<ffffffc00091d928>] kernel_init_freeable+0x138/0x1dc [<ffffffc000642578>] kernel_init+0xc/0xd4 We really just want to synchronize the sending of an SGI with the update of the gic_cpu_map[], so introduce a new SGI lock that we can use to synchronize the two code paths.
