[RESEND PATCH v3 01/11] ARM: prevent tracing IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE

[Masahiro Yamada]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

When function tracing for IPIs is enabled, we get a warning for an
overflow of the ipi_types array with the IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE type
as triggered by raise_nmi():

arch/arm/kernel/smp.c: In function 'raise_nmi':
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:489:2: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
  trace_ipi_raise(target, ipi_types[ipinr]);

This is a correct warning as we actually overflow the array here.

This patch raise_nmi() to call __smp_cross_call() instead of
smp_cross_call(), to avoid calling into ftrace. For clarification,
I'm also adding a two new code comments describing how this one
is special.

The warning appears to have shown up after patch e7273ff49acf
("ARM: 8488/1: Make IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE a "non-secure" SGI"), which
changed the number assignment from '15' to '8', but as far as I can
tell has existed since the IPI tracepoints were first introduced.
If we decide to backport this patch to stable kernels, we probably
need to backport e7273ff49acf as well.

Fixes: e7273ff49acf ("ARM: 8488/1: Make IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE a "non-secure" SGI")
Fixes: 365ec7b17327 ("ARM: add IPI tracepoints") # v3.17

This is a long-standing issue, and
Arnd posted this patch two years ago:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-February/409393.html

It is no longer applied, so I rebased it on top of the latest kernel.
