[PATCH 4.7 28/59] timekeeping: Avoid taking lock in NMI path with CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 12 2016 - 11:44:24 EST
4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: John Stultz <john.stultz@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 27727df240c7cc84f2ba6047c6f18d5addfd25ef upstream.
When I added some extra sanity checking in timekeeping_get_ns() under
CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING, I missed that the NMI safe __ktime_get_fast_ns()
method was using timekeeping_get_ns().
Thus the locking added to the debug checks broke the NMI-safety of
__ktime_get_fast_ns().
This patch open-codes the timekeeping_get_ns() logic for
__ktime_get_fast_ns(), so can avoid any deadlocks in NMI.
Fixes: 4ca22c2648f9 "timekeeping: Add warnings when overflows or underflows are observed"
