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/korg/gcc-9.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-9.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 3fa6fc04815a70a110445368c8741c178970c87d # < make -s -j 24 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_ppc64_defconfig+UP_powerpc-gcc9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-9.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- ppc64_defconfig # Added to kconfig CONFIG_SMP=n # < make -s -j 24 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_ppc64_defconfig+UP_powerpc-gcc9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-9.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 24 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_ppc64_defconfig+UP_powerpc-gcc9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-9.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 24 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_ppc64_defconfig+UP_powerpc-gcc9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-9.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_ppc64_defconfig+UP_powerpc-gcc9 # Build took: 0:04:44.120054
