Hi Russell,
I've had this series in my repo for a long time with some follow-ups on
the list but without any conclusive ACK or NAK. If there are no
objections, I plan to send it to the patch system.
The only change is rebasing to 3.14-rc6 and adding some Cc for the
crunch bits.
The __und_usr handler accesses the user space to read the opcode of the
faulting instruction. This is currently done with interrupts disabled
but it could potentially cause a data abort of the page table was
modified from another CPU. The data abort with interrupts disabled
triggers a might_sleep() warning in do_page_fault() or, worse, deadlock
on the pte lock when TLB ops broadcasting is enabled (ARM11MPCore or A15
together with workaround for erratum 798181).
Catalin Marinas (5):
arm: Move asm macro get_thread_info to asm/assembler.h
arm: Add {inc,dec}_preempt_count asm macros
arm: Disable preemption in iwmmxt_task_enable()
arm: Disable preemption in crunch_task_enable()
arm: Enable IRQs before attempting to read user space in __und_usr
