Subject: [PATCH 3/5] x86: Sanity-check static_cpu_has usage
Date: Sun, 9 Jun 2013 12:07:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370772454-6106-4-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1370772454-6106-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de>
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
static_cpu_has may be used only after alternatives have run. Before that
it always returns false if constant folding with __builtin_constant_p()
doesn't happen. And you don't want that.
This patch is the result of me debugging an issue where I overzealously
put static_cpu_has in code which executed before alternatives have run
and had to spend some time with scratching head and cursing at the
monitor.
So add a jump to a warning which screams loudly when we use this
function too early. The alternatives patch that check away in
conjunction with patching the rest of the kernel image.
