trace: disable preemption before taking raw spinlocks
s390 code uses smp_processor_id() in __raw_spin_lock() code which reveals that a (raw) spinlock is taken without preemption disabled. This can potentially deadlock. To fix this explicitly disable and enable preemption. BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: cat/2278 caller is trace_find_cmdline+0x40/0xfc CPU: 0 Not tainted 2.6.30-rc7-dirty #39 Process cat (pid: 2278, task: 000000003faedb68, ksp: 000000003b33b988) 000000003b33b988 000000003b33bae0 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 000000003b33bb80 000000003b33baf8 000000003b33baf8 00000000000175d6 0000000000000001 000000003b33b988 000000003f9b0000 000000000000000b 000000000000000c 000000003b33bb40 000000003b33bae0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000000000175d6 000000003b33bae0 000000003b33bb28 Call Trace: ([<00000000000174b2>] show_trace+0x112/0x170) [<0000000000017582>] show_stack+0x72/0x100 [<0000000000441538>] dump_stack+0xc8/0xd8 [<000000000025c350>] debug_smp_processor_id+0x114/0x130 [<00000000000bf0e4>] trace_find_cmdline+0x40/0xfc [<00000000000c35d4>] trace_print_context+0x58/0xac [<00000000000bb676>] print_trace_line+0x416/0x470 [<00000000000bc8fe>] s_show+0x4e/0x428 [<000000000013834e>] seq_read+0x36a/0x5d4 [<0000000000112a78>] vfs_read+0xc8/0x174 [<0000000000112c58>] SyS_read+0x74/0xc4 [<000000000002c7ae>] sysc_noemu+0x10/0x16 [<000002000012436c>] 0x2000012436c 1 lock held by cat/2278: #0: (&p->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<0000000000138056>] seq_read+0x72/0x5d4 [ Impact: fix preempt-unsafe raw spinlock ] Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
