This whole chain gets inlined, # so when we free the init section (hence kvm_guest_init()), this code # goes away and hence should no longer be patched. # # We seen this as userspace memory corruption when using a memory # checker while doing partition migration testing on powervm (this # starts the code patching post migration via # /sys/kernel/mobility/migration). In theory, it could also happen when # using /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/barrier_nospec. # # Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.13+ # Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling # Reviewed-by: Nicholas Piggin # Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 51c3c62b58b357e8d35e4cc32f7b4ec907426fe3 # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_40x_kilauea_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- 40x/kilauea_defconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_40x_kilauea_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_40x.S: Assembler messages: /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_40x.S:883: Warning: invalid register expression Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_40x_kilauea_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:00:36.700847
