6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6881e75237a84093d0986f56223db3724619f26e upstream.
The recent fix for making the take over of the broadcast timer more
reliable retrieves a per CPU pointer in preemptible context.
This went unnoticed as compilers hoist the access into the non-preemptible
region where the pointer is actually used. But of course it's valid that
the compiler keeps it at the place where the code puts it which rightfully
triggers:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
caller is hotplug_cpu__broadcast_tick_pull+0x1c/0xc0
Move it to the actual usage site which is in a non-preemptible region.
Fixes: f7d43dd206e7 ("tick/broadcast: Make takeover of broadcast hrtimer reliable")
