 [Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH] x86/flushtlb: remove flush_area check on system state
 Booting with Shadow Stacks leads to the following assert on a debug
hypervisor:
(XEN) [   11.625166] Assertion 'local_irq_is_enabled()' failed at 
arch/x86/smp.c:265
(XEN) [   11.629410] ----[ Xen-4.17.0-10.24-d  x86_64  debug=y  Not tainted 
]----

This is due to SYS_STATE_smp_boot being set before calling
alternative_branches(), and the flush in modify_xen_mappings() then
using flush_area_all() with interrupts disabled.  Note that
alternative_branches() is called before APs are started, so the flush
must be a local one (and indeed the cpumask passed to
flush_area_mask() just contains one CPU).
Take the opportunity to simplify a bit the logic and make flush_area()
an alias for flush_area_mask(&cpu_online_map...), taking into account
that cpu_online_map just contains the BSP before APs are started.
This requires widening the assert in flush_area_mask() to allow
being called with interrupts disabled as long as it's strictly a local
only flush.
The overall result is that a conditional can be removed from
flush_area().
Fixes: (78e072bc37 'x86/mm: avoid inadvertently degrading a TLB flush to local 
only')
