If notify_die() returns NOTIFY_STOP, there is no need to call make_task_dead(), we can remove noreturn attribute for die(), this is similar with arm64, riscv and csky. While at it, modify the die() declaration in ptrace.h to fix the following checkpatch warnings: WARNING: function definition argument 'const char *' should also have an identifier name WARNING: function definition argument 'struct pt_regs *' should also have an identifier name Additionally, also remove noreturn attribute for nmi_exception_handler due to it calls die(), otherwise there exists the following build error: arch/mips/kernel/traps.c:2001:1: error: 'noreturn' function does return [-Werror] Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h | 2 +- arch/mips/kernel/traps.c | 14 +++++++------- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h b/arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h index daf3cf2..14d2ee9 100644 --- a/arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h +++ b/arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h @@ -159,7 +159,7 @@ static inline long regs_return_value(struct pt_regs *regs) extern asmlinkage long syscall_trace_enter(struct pt_regs *regs, long syscall); extern asmlinkage void syscall_trace_leave(struct pt_regs *regs); -extern void die(const char *, struct pt_regs *) __noreturn; +void die(const char *str, struct pt_regs *regs); static inline void die_if_kernel(const char *str, struct pt_regs *regs) { diff --git a/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c b/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c index 246c6a6..4f5140f 100644 --- a/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c +++ b/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c @@ -391,16 +391,15 @@ void show_registers(struct pt_regs *regs) static DEFINE_RAW_SPINLOCK(die_lock); -void __noreturn die(const char *str, struct pt_regs *regs) +void die(const char *str, struct pt_regs *regs) { static int die_counter; - int sig = SIGSEGV; + int ret; oops_enter(); - if (notify_die(DIE_OOPS, str, regs, 0, current->thread.trap_nr, - SIGSEGV) == NOTIFY_STOP) - sig = 0; + ret = notify_die(DIE_OOPS, str, regs, 0, + current->thread.trap_nr, SIGSEGV); console_verbose(); raw_spin_lock_irq(&die_lock); @@ -422,7 +421,8 @@ void __noreturn die(const char *str, struct pt_regs *regs) if (regs && kexec_should_crash(current)) crash_kexec(regs); - make_task_dead(sig); + if (ret != NOTIFY_STOP) + make_task_dead(SIGSEGV); } extern struct exception_table_entry __start___dbe_table[]; @@ -1986,7 +1986,7 @@ int register_nmi_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb) return raw_notifier_chain_register(&nmi_chain, nb); } -void __noreturn nmi_exception_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) +void nmi_exception_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) { char str[100]; -- 2.1.0
