Subject: [RESEND PATCH] ARM: prevent tracing IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2018 11:41:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1538019697-14673-1-git-send-email-chunyan.zhang@unisoc.com> (raw)

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

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.

Resubmiting this patch is because that I found coverity is complaining
the issue this patch fixed, and also I got the traces like below:
"ipi_raise: target_mask=00000001 (machine_suspend)" which actually was
the TPS of suspend_resume[1] rather than ipi_raise.
