[PATCH 3.16 175/204] x86/oprofile/ppro: Do not use __this_cpu*() in preemptible context

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Dec 28 2017 - 12:26:43 EST


3.16.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

commit a743bbeef27b9176987ec0cb7f906ab0ab52d1da upstream.

The warning below says it all:

BUG: using __this_cpu_read() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
caller is __this_cpu_preempt_check
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.14.0-rc8 #4
Call Trace:
dump_stack
check_preemption_disabled
? do_early_param
__this_cpu_preempt_check
arch_perfmon_init
op_nmi_init
? alloc_pci_root_info
oprofile_arch_init
oprofile_init
do_one_initcall
...

These accessors should not have been used in the first place: it is PPro so
no mixed silicon revisions and thus it can simply use boot_cpu_data.
