When calling smp_call_ipl_cpu() from the IPL CPU, we will try to read from pcpu_devices->lowcore. However, due to prefixing, that will result in reading from absolute address 0 on that CPU. We have to go via the actual lowcore instead. This means that right now, we will read lc->nodat_stack == 0 and therfore work on a very wrong stack. This BUG essentially broke rebooting under QEMU TCG (which will report a low address protection exception). And checking under KVM, it is also broken under KVM. With 1 VCPU it can be easily triggered. :/# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq :/# echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger [ 28.476745] sysrq: SysRq : Resetting [ 28.476793] Kernel stack overflow.
