Subject: [PATCH] arm64: arch_timer: fix the infinite recursion when enable ftrace and erratum workaround
Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 20:49:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43ec809d-b8f2-eb73-8ad6-9966cf67625f@huawei.com> (raw)
When enable preempt and ftrace, and perform the following steps, the system will hang:
mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug/
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
echo function_graph > current_tracer
This is because the preempt_disable and preempt_enable calls would cause infinite
recursion for some chips which needs the timer erratum workaround and the system
will hang, so use the preempt_disable/enable_notrace calls to prevent recursion.
Fixes: 6acc71ccac71 ("arm64: arch_timer: Allows a CPU-specific erratum to only affect a subset of CPUs")
