Subject: percpu, x86: Fix percpu_xchg_op()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=889a7a6a5d5e64063effd40056bdc7b8fb336bd1;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

percpu, x86: Fix percpu_xchg_op()

These recent percpu commits:

  2485b6464cf8: x86,percpu: Move out of place 64 bit ops into X86_64 section
  8270137a0d50: cpuops: Use cmpxchg for xchg to avoid lock semantics

Caused this 'perf top' crash:

Looking at assembly code, I found:

list = this_cpu_xchg(irq_work_list, NULL);

gives this wrong code : (gcc-4.1.2 cross compiler)

ffffffff810bc45e:
	mov    %gs:0xead0,%rax
	cmpxchg %rax,%gs:0xead0
	jne    ffffffff810bc45e <irq_work_run+0x3e>
	test   %rax,%rax
	je     ffffffff810bc4aa <irq_work_run+0x8a>

Tell gcc we dirty eax/rax register in percpu_xchg_op()

Compiler must use another register to store pxo_new__

We also dont need to reload percpu value after a jump,
since a 'failed' cmpxchg already updated eax/rax

Wrong generated code was :
	xor     %rax,%rax   /* load 0 into %rax */
1:	mov     %gs:0xead0,%rax
	cmpxchg %rax,%gs:0xead0
	jne     1b
	test    %rax,%rax

After patch :

	xor     %rdx,%rdx   /* load 0 into %rdx */
	mov     %gs:0xead0,%rax
1:	cmpxchg %rdx,%gs:0xead0
	jne     1b:
	test    %rax,%rax
