I haven't figured out what is going on here, but I tracked down
the trapping instruction <90> to the middle of the 'xchg %ax,%ax'
two-byte nop in:
ffffffff814218f4: 83 e0 03 and $0x3,%eax
ffffffff814218f7: 89 45 c0 mov %eax,-0x40(%rbp)
ffffffff814218fa: 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax
ffffffff814218fc: 41 89 df mov %ebx,%r15d
ffffffff814218ff: 41 be 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%r14d
which in turn is the cpusets_enabled() check in prepare_alloc_pages().
static inline bool cpusets_enabled(void)
{
return static_branch_unlikely(&cpusets_enabled_key);
}
static __always_inline bool arch_static_branch(struct static_key *key, bool branch)
{
asm_volatile_goto("1:"
"jmp %l[l_yes] # objtool NOPs this \n\t"
JUMP_TABLE_ENTRY
: : "i" (key), "i" (2 | branch) : : l_yes);
return false;
l_yes:
return true;
}
I don't see any changes related to this between 6.3.3 and 6.3.4-rc2.
