Subject: [PATCH] arm: Use arch_spin_lock for unwind to avoid lockdep deadlock
Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 16:11:17 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.02.1105171605080.3078@ionos> (raw)

When lockdep traces a lock taken in a module the arm unwinder takes
unwind_lock which causes a recursive lockdep call deadlocking itself
on the unwind_lock.

Make unwind_lock an arch_spin_lock to avoid the lockdep call and use
the raw_local_irq_save/restore() variants to avoid irq tracing as
well.
