Subject: [10/40] powerpc: Fix unpaired probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit
Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:45:23 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120110214619.083733768@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120110214630.GA14384@kroah.com>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Li Zhong <zhong@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit e4f387d8db3ba3c2dae4d8bdfe7bb5f4fe1bcb0d upstream.

Unpaired calling of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit might happen
as following, which could cause incorrect preempt count.

__trace_hcall_entry => trace_hcall_entry -> probe_hcall_entry =>
get_cpu_var => preempt_disable

__trace_hcall_exit => trace_hcall_exit -> probe_hcall_exit =>
put_cpu_var => preempt_enable

where:
A => B and A -> B means A calls B, but
=> means A will call B through function name, and B will definitely be
called.
-> means A will call B through function pointer, so B might not be
called if the function pointer is not set.

So error happens when only one of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit
get called during a hcall.

This patch tries to move the preempt count operations from
probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit to its callers.
