[PATCH v8 0/2] x86/apic: x2apic write eoi msr notrace
From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Sun Nov 06 2016 - 22:28:04 EST
RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/1/0.
do_trace_write_msr
native_write_msr
native_apic_msr_eoi_write
smp_reschedule_interrupt
reschedule_interrupt
Reschedule interrupt may be called in CPU idle state. This causes lockdep
check warning above.
As Peterz pointed out:
| The thing is, many many smp_reschedule_interrupt() invocations don't
| actually execute anything much at all and are only sent to tickle the
| return to user path (which does the actual preemption).
|
| Having to do the whole irq_enter/irq_exit dance just for this unlikely
| debug case totally blows.
This patchset adds x2apic write eoi msr notrace to avoid the debug codes
splash and reverts irq_enter/irq_exit dance to avoid to make a very frequent
interrupt slower because of debug code.
v7 -> v8:
* cleanup patch 2/2 descriptions
v6 -> v7:
* cleanup storage class should be at the beginning of the declaration
v5 -> v6:
* split the patch
* don't duplicate the inline asm
v4 -> v5:
* add notrace mark
v3 -> v4:
* add notrace mark
v2 -> v3:
* revert irq_enter/irq_exit() since it is merged
v1 -> v2:
* add write msr notrace to avoid debug codes splash instead of slowdown
a very frequent interrupt
