From 84477336ec03f8061ffd6908da341e063e5d6d1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 21:56:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/delay: Avoid preemptible context checks in delay_mwaitx() We do use this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_tss) as a cacheline-aligned, seldomly accessed per-cpu var as the MONITORX target in delay_mwaitx(). However, when called in preemptible context, this_cpu_ptr -> smp_processor_id() -> debug_smp_processor_id() fires: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: udevd/312 caller is delay_mwaitx+0x40/0xa0 But we don't care about that check - we only need cpu_tss as a MONITORX target and it doesn't really matter which CPU's var we're touching as we're going idle anyway. Fix that.
