Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Set up the polling timer before CMCI discovery
Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2026 02:47:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803-mce_timer_init-v1-1-9539db424330@debian.org> (raw)

I hit the following on one of my machines:

  mce: CPU0 BANK15 CMCI inherited storm
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  ODEBUG: assert_init not available (active state 0) object: (____ptrval____) object type: timer_list hint: 0x0
  WARNING: lib/debugobjects.c:632 at debug_object_assert_init+0x178/0x230, CPU#0: swapper/0/0
  CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 7.2.0-rc5 #3 PREEMPTLAZY
  RIP: 0010:debug_object_assert_init+0x18f/0x230
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   __mod_timer
   mce_timer_kick
   cmci_discover
   intel_init_cmci
   mce_intel_feature_init
   mcheck_cpu_init
   identify_cpu
   identify_boot_cpu
   arch_cpu_finalize_init
   start_kernel

A second splat follows right after, from timer_setup() finding that same
timer already queued:

  ODEBUG: init active (active state 0) object: (____ptrval____) object type: timer_list hint: stub_timer+0x0/0x10

This is happening because we are trying to modify the timer before it
was properly setup'ed.

Set the timer up first. __mcheck_cpu_setup_timer() only calls
timer_setup(), and depends on neither the generic nor the vendor init.
