[PATCH 6.6 126/189] tick/broadcast: Move per CPU pointer access into the atomic section

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



6.6-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.
