Actually, the author was Andi. It's in the 2.6.24-rt patch set too. Here's the change log: >From ak@xxxxxxx Sat Oct 27 10:32:13 2007 Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2007 12:39:33 +0200 From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxx> To: linux-rt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PATCH] Don't disable preemption in exception handlers without IST Some of the exception handlers that run on an IST in a normal kernel still disable preemption. This causes might_sleep warning when sending signals for debugging in PREEMPT-RT because sending signals can take a lock. Since the ISTs are disabled now for those don't disable the preemption. This completes the remove IST patch I sent some time ago and fixes another case where using gdb caused warnings. Also it will likely improve latency a little bit. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxx> Thomas, I think this patch is worth adding, unless you have a better work around. -- Steve > > Forward-ported from v2.6.33.9-rt31 to v3.2-rc2-rt3 > Signed-off-by: John Kacur <jkacur@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > arch/x86/kernel/traps.c | 24 +++++++++++++----------- > 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/traps.c b/arch/x86/kernel/traps.c > index a8e3eb8..3654390 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kernel/traps.c > +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/traps.c > @@ -87,9 +87,10 @@ static inline void conditional_sti(struct pt_regs *regs) > local_irq_enable(); > } > > -static inline void preempt_conditional_sti(struct pt_regs *regs) > +static inline void preempt_conditional_sti(struct pt_regs *regs, int stack) > { > - inc_preempt_count(); > + if (stack) > + inc_preempt_count(); > if (regs->flags & X86_EFLAGS_IF) > local_irq_enable(); > } > @@ -100,11 +101,12 @@ static inline void conditional_cli(struct pt_regs *regs) > local_irq_disable(); > } > > -static inline void preempt_conditional_cli(struct pt_regs *regs) > +static inline void preempt_conditional_cli(struct pt_regs *regs, int stack) > { > if (regs->flags & X86_EFLAGS_IF) > local_irq_disable(); > - dec_preempt_count(); > + if (stack) > + dec_preempt_count(); > } > > static void __kprobes > @@ -222,9 +224,9 @@ dotraplinkage void do_stack_segment(struct pt_regs *regs, long error_code) > if (notify_die(DIE_TRAP, "stack segment", regs, error_code, > 12, SIGBUS) == NOTIFY_STOP) > return; > - preempt_conditional_sti(regs); > + preempt_conditional_sti(regs, STACKFAULT_STACK); > do_trap(12, SIGBUS, "stack segment", regs, error_code, NULL); > - preempt_conditional_cli(regs); > + preempt_conditional_cli(regs, STACKFAULT_STACK); > } > > dotraplinkage void do_double_fault(struct pt_regs *regs, long error_code) > @@ -316,9 +318,9 @@ dotraplinkage void __kprobes do_int3(struct pt_regs *regs, long error_code) > return; > #endif > > - preempt_conditional_sti(regs); > + preempt_conditional_sti(regs, DEBUG_STACK); > do_trap(3, SIGTRAP, "int3", regs, error_code, NULL); > - preempt_conditional_cli(regs); > + preempt_conditional_cli(regs, DEBUG_STACK); > } > > #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64 > @@ -412,12 +414,12 @@ dotraplinkage void __kprobes do_debug(struct pt_regs *regs, long error_code) > return; > > /* It's safe to allow irq's after DR6 has been saved */ > - preempt_conditional_sti(regs); > + preempt_conditional_sti(regs, DEBUG_STACK); > > if (regs->flags & X86_VM_MASK) { > handle_vm86_trap((struct kernel_vm86_regs *) regs, > error_code, 1); > - preempt_conditional_cli(regs); > + preempt_conditional_cli(regs, DEBUG_STACK); > return; > } > > @@ -436,7 +438,7 @@ dotraplinkage void __kprobes do_debug(struct pt_regs *regs, long error_code) > si_code = get_si_code(tsk->thread.debugreg6); > if (tsk->thread.debugreg6 & (DR_STEP | DR_TRAP_BITS) || user_icebp) > send_sigtrap(tsk, regs, error_code, si_code); > - preempt_conditional_cli(regs); > + preempt_conditional_cli(regs, DEBUG_STACK); > > return; > } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
