When that hits, it appears to be # unrecoverable due to RI=0. # # The problematic access is in preempt_count() which is: # # return READ_ONCE(current_thread_info()->preempt_count); # # Because of THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, current_thread_info() just points to # current, so the access is to somewhere in kernel memory, but not on # the stack or in .data, which means it can cause an SLB miss. If we # take an SLB miss with RI=0 it is fatal. # # The easiest solution is to add a version of lazy_irq_pending() that # doesn't do the preemption check and call it from the interrupt return # path. # # Fixes: 68b34588e202 ("powerpc/64/sycall: Implement syscall entry/exit logic in C") # Reported-by: Hugh Dickins # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200502143316.929341-1-mpe@ellerman.id.au # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 3fa6fc04815a70a110445368c8741c178970c87d # < make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_52xx_cm5200_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.6 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux- 52xx/cm5200_defconfig # < make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_52xx_cm5200_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.6 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux- help # make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_52xx_cm5200_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.6 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_52xx_cm5200_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.6 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux- /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c: In function 'devkmsg_sysctl_set_loglvl': /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c:204:16: warning: 'old' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/proc/inode.c: In function 'proc_reg_open': /kisskb/src/include/linux/list.h:72:12: warning: 'pdeo' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/proc/inode.c:471:21: note: 'pdeo' was declared here /kisskb/src/fs/ext4/extents.c: In function 'ext4_convert_unwritten_io_end_vec': /kisskb/src/fs/ext4/extents.c:4774:23: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/drivers/usb/core/devio.c: In function 'async_completed': /kisskb/src/drivers/usb/core/devio.c:625:23: warning: 'errno' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/namei.c: In function 'handle_dots': /kisskb/src/fs/namei.c:1805:10: warning: 'inode' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/namei.c:1805:10: warning: 'seq' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/io_uring.c: In function '__io_sqe_files_update.isra.96': /kisskb/src/fs/io_uring.c:6701:13: warning: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] INFO: Uncompressed kernel (size 0x52f5a0) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000) INFO: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0x600000) Image Name: Linux-5.7.0-rc2-14553-g3fa6fc048 Created: Mon May 4 13:37:12 2020 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 2647382 Bytes = 2585.33 KiB = 2.52 MiB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_52xx_cm5200_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.6 # Build took: 0:01:00.925677
