If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 7834c10313fb823e538f2772be78edcdeed2e6e3 ] Since 4.4, I've been able to trigger this occasionally: =============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.5.0-rc7-think+ #3 Not tainted Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160315012054.GA17765@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ------------------------------- ./arch/x86/include/asm/msr-trace.h:47 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: RCU used illegally from idle CPU! rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1 RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state! no locks held by swapper/3/0. stack backtrace: CPU: 3 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/3 Not tainted 4.5.0-rc7-think+ #3 ffffffff92f821e0 1f3e5c340597d7fc ffff880468e07f10 ffffffff92560c2a ffff880462145280 0000000000000001 ffff880468e07f40 ffffffff921376a6 ffffffff93665ea0 0000cc7c876d28da 0000000000000005 ffffffff9383dd60 Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff92560c2a>] dump_stack+0x67/0x9d [<ffffffff921376a6>] lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0xe6/0x100 [<ffffffff925ae7a7>] do_trace_write_msr+0x127/0x1a0 [<ffffffff92061c83>] native_apic_msr_eoi_write+0x23/0x30 [<ffffffff92054408>] smp_trace_call_function_interrupt+0x38/0x360 [<ffffffff92d1ca60>] trace_call_function_interrupt+0x90/0xa0 <EOI> [<ffffffff92ac5124>] ? cpuidle_enter_state+0x1b4/0x520 Move the entering_irq() call before ack_APIC_irq(), because entering_irq() tells the RCU susbstems to end the extended quiescent state, so that the following trace call in ack_APIC_irq() works correctly.
