Yeah, this is extremely likely to be the source of the warning.
The warning should be harmless, however.

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from. Too bad,
lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't
go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace?
The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess
this is the case. Yep, seems like it.
This looks relevant:

Fix an incompatible pointer type warning on x86_64 compilations.
early_memtest() is passing a u64* to find_e820_area_size() which is expecting
an unsigned long. Change t_start and t_size to unsigned long as those are
also 64-bit types on x88_64.

Joy - I so love entry.S
Best I can make of it:
syscall_exit_work
resume_userspace
DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
(no TRACE_IRQS_OFF)
work_pending
work_notifysig
do_notify_resume()
do_signal()
get_signal_to_deliver()
try_to_freeze()
refrigerator()
task_lock() -> check_flags() -> BANG
The normal path is:
syscall_exit_work
resume_userspace
DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
restore_all
TRACE_IRQS_IRET
iret
No idea why that would not warn..

| x86: fix ioapic bug again
the original problem is fixed by Maciej W. Rozycki in the tip/x86/apic
branch (confirmed by Márton), but those changes are too intrusive for
v2.6.26 so we'll go for the less intrusive (repeated) revert now.

The assembler was stumbling over the 64-bit constant 0x100000000 in the
KPMDS #define.
Testing: a cmp(1) on head_32.o before and after shows the binary is unchanged.

Page faults in kernel address space between PAGE_OFFSET up to
VMALLOC_START should not try to map as vmalloc.
Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root
filesystem at boot time.
All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole.
I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit
has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part.
Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation):
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt
The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug.
More memory gets the bug more rarely.
Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail:
Start from "mount_block_root",
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297
There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes.
Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first
string is no problem.
But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not
at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the
first in list.
Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount.
Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains
a full page.
The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()":
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540
Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault
handler was not called. No problem.
In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page
fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320
The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000.
It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's
from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc".
The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332
"vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing
virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault()
got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282
No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying
to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup.
This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also
was not existing. The endless began...
In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under
coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

* 'core/iter-div' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
always_inline timespec_add_ns
add an inlined version of iter_div_u64_rem
common implementation of iterative div/mod
|
|
We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used
when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor.
Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this
into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and
even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc.
The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent
gcc from performing the transformation.
This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it
to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

Clear CR4.VMXE in hardware_disable. There's no reason to leave it set
after doing a VMXOFF.
VMware Workstation 6.5 checks CR4.VMXE as a proxy for whether the CPU is
in VMX mode, so leaving VMXE set means we'll refuse to power on. With this
change the user can power on after unloading the kvm-intel module. I
tested on kvm-67 and kvm-69.

The hypercall instructions on Intel and AMD are different. KVM allows the
guest to choose one or the other (the default is Intel), and if the guest
chooses incorrectly, KVM will patch it at runtime to select the correct
instruction. This allows live migration between Intel and AMD machines.
This patching occurs in the x86 emulator. The current code also executes
the hypercall. Unfortunately, the tail end of the x86 emulator code also
executes, overwriting the return value of the hypercall with the original
contents of rax (which happens to be the hypercall number).
Fix not by executing the hypercall in the emulator context; instead let the
guest reissue the patched instruction and execute the hypercall via the
normal path.

Now that's an VIA 8237 chip, so pirq_via586_get shouldn't be called
at all; adding this workaround to via_router_probe() fixes the
problem for me.
Amazingly I have a 2.6.23.8 kernel that somehow works fine ... I'll

Previously, one would have to specifically choose CONFIG_OLPC and
CONFIG_PCI_GOOLPC in order to enable PCI_OLPC. That doesn't really work
for distro kernels, so this patch allows one to choose CONFIG_OLPC and
CONFIG_PCI_GOANY in order to build in OLPC support in a generic kernel (as
requested by Robert Millan).
This also moves GOOLPC before GOANY in the menuconfig list.
Finally, make pci_access_init return early if we detect OLPC hardware.
There's no need to continue probing stuff, and pci_pcbios_init
specifically trashes our settings (we didn't run into that before because
PCI_GOANY wasn't supported).

Jürgen Mell reported an FPU state corruption bug under CONFIG_PREEMPT,
and bisected it to commit v2.6.19-1363-gacc2076, "i386: add sleazy FPU
optimization".
Add tsk_used_math() checks to prevent calling math_state_restore()
which can sleep in the case of !tsk_used_math(). This prevents
making a blocking call in __switch_to().
Apparently "fpu_counter > 5" check is not enough, as in some signal handling
and fork/exec scenarios, fpu_counter > 5 and !tsk_used_math() is possible.
It's a side effect though. This is the failing scenario:
process 'A' in save_i387_ia32() just after clear_used_math()
Got an interrupt and pre-empted out.
At the next context switch to process 'A' again, kernel tries to restore
the math state proactively and sees a fpu_counter > 0 and !tsk_used_math()
This results in init_fpu() during the __switch_to()'s math_state_restore()
And resulting in fpu corruption which will be saved/restored
(save_i387_fxsave and restore_i387_fxsave) during the remaining
part of the signal handling after the context switch.

Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code
resilient to mtrr lookup problems.
Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what
conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type
when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat
consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup
for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr
lookup failure.
pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type
to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem
mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping
UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS
area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is
not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings.
(2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or
WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still
effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same
region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in
PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type
rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as
hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default.
In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the
memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple
users.

The RT team has been searching for a nasty latency. This latency shows
up out of the blue and has been seen to be as big as 5ms!
Using ftrace I found the cause of the latency.
pcscd-2995 3dNh1 52360300us : irq_exit (smp_apic_timer_interrupt)
pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : idle_cpu (irq_exit)
pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit)
pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (apic_timer_interrupt
)
pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : exit_idle (smp_apic_timer_interrupt)
Here's an example of a 400 us latency. pcscd took a timer interrupt and
returned with "need resched" enabled, but did not reschedule until after
the next interrupt came in at 52360771us 400us later!
At first I thought we somehow missed a preemption check in entry.S. But
I also noticed that this always seemed to happen during a __delay call.
pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360836us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit)
pcscd-2995 3.N.. 52361265us : preempt_schedule (__delay)
Looking at the x86 delay, I found my problem.
In git commit 35d5d08a085c56f153458c3f5d8ce24123617faf, Andrew Morton
placed preempt_disable around the entire delay due to TSC's not working
nicely on SMP. Unfortunately for those that care about latencies this
is devastating! Especially when we have callers to mdelay(8).
Here I enable preemption during the loop and account for anytime the task
migrates to a new CPU. The delay asked for may be extended a bit by
the migration, but delay only guarantees that it will delay for that minimum
time. Delaying longer should not be an issue.
[
Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for spotting that cpu wasn't updated,
and to place the rep_nop between preempt_enabled/disable.

tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from
the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace
tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock()

When the TSC is calibrated against the PIT due to the nonavailability
of PMTIMER/HPET or due to SMI interference then the setup of the per
CPU cyc2ns variables is skipped. This is unlikely to happen but it
would definitely render sched_clock() unusable.
