[PATCH 1/2] arm64/traps: Replace this_cpu_* with raw_cpu_* in panic_bad_stack()

From: Zhen Lei
Date: Thu Aug 25 2022 - 02:32:48 EST


The hardware automatically disable the IRQ interrupt before jumping to the
interrupt or exception vector. Therefore, the preempt_disable() operation
in this_cpu_read() after macro expansion is unnecessary. In fact, before
commit 8168f098867f ("arm64: entry: split bad stack entry"), the operation
this_cpu_read() precedes arm64_enter_nmi(). If set_preempt_need_resched()
is called before stack overflow, this_cpu_read() may trigger scheduling,
see pseudocode below.

Pseudocode of this_cpu_read(xx) when CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y:
preempt_disable_notrace();
raw_cpu_read(xx);
if (unlikely(__preempt_count_dec_and_test()))
__preempt_schedule_notrace();

Therefore, use raw_cpu_* instead of this_cpu_* to eliminate potential
hazards. At the very least, it reduces a few lines of assembly code.
