[PATCH] arm64: use preempt_disable_notrace in _percpu_read/write

[PATCH] arm64: use preempt_disable_notrace in _percpu_read/write

[Chunyan Zhang]

When debug preempt or preempt tracer is enabled, preempt_count_add/sub()
can be traced by function and function graph tracing, and
preempt_disable/enable() would call preempt_count_add/sub(), so in Ftrace
subsystem we should use preempt_disable/enable_notrace instead.

In the commit 345ddcc882d8 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap
like events do") the function this_cpu_read() was added to
trace_graph_entry(), and if this_cpu_read() calls preempt_disable(), graph
tracer will go into a recursive loop, even if the tracing_on is
disabled.

So this patch change to use preempt_enable/disable_notrace instead in
this_cpu_read().

Since Yonghui Yang helped a lot to find the root cause of this problem,
so also add his SOB.

[PATCH] arm64: use preempt_disable_notrace in _percpu_read/write

[Chunyan Zhang]

When debug preempt or preempt tracer is enabled, preempt_count_add/sub()
can be traced by function and function graph tracing, and
preempt_disable/enable() would call preempt_count_add/sub(), so in Ftrace
subsystem we should use preempt_disable/enable_notrace instead.

In the commit 345ddcc882d8 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap
like events do") the function this_cpu_read() was added to
trace_graph_entry(), and if this_cpu_read() calls preempt_disable(), graph
tracer will go into a recursive loop, even if the tracing_on is
disabled.

So this patch change to use preempt_enable/disable_notrace instead in
this_cpu_read().

Since Yonghui Yang helped a lot to find the root cause of this problem,
so also add his SOB.

Hi,

In future, please ensure that you include the arm64 maintainers when
sending changes to core arm64 code. I've copied Catalin and Will for you
this time.

Thanks,
Mark.
