[PATCH] ARM: hw_breakpoint: Do not use __cpuinitdata for dbg_cpu_pm_nb

[Bastian Hecht]

We must not declare dbg_cpu_pm_nb as __cpuinitdata as we need it after
system initialization for Suspend and CPUIdle.

This was done in commit 9a6eb310eaa5336b89a27a0bbb78da4bba35f6f1
ARM: hw_breakpoint: Debug powerdown support for self-hosted debug

Hi,

I've experienced a kernel oops while working on Suspend-To-Ram and CPUIdle
on the Armadillo800EVA from Renesas. After echo mem >/sys/power/state I get:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e7fddef0
PC is at 0xe7fddef0
LR is at notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x70

I've bisected the kernel to the commit 9a6eb310eaa5336b89a27a0bbb78da4bba35f6f1

    ARM: hw_breakpoint: Debug powerdown support for self-hosted debug

and succeeded to fix it by removing the __cpuinitdata tag.

Cheers,

 Bastian

Hi Bastian,

thanks for catching this. Is my assumption right that you used an UP kernel?

I didn't catch this error during my Suspend-To-Ram/CPUidle tests because
I tested only on SMP kernels where 'dbg_cpu_pm_nb' is placed into the
.data and not in the .init.data section.


Will, we have the same issue in arch/arm/kernel/perf_event_cpu.c.
Lorenzo is currently working on an appropriate patch.

Yes exactly, it's for a Cortex A9 UP core, so a UP kernel. Glad I could help.

I don't think we do. The __cpuinitdata annotation there is only used on a
hotplug notifier, which should be fine.

You right, I got confused about what is already upstream.
