Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] powerpc/64s: system call scv tabort fix for corrupt irq soft-mask state
Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2021 02:18:09 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210901161810.1411015-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
If a system call is made with a transaction active, the kernel
immediately aborts it and returns. scv system calls disable irqs even
earlier in their interrupt handler, and tabort_syscall does not fix this
up.
This can result in irq soft-mask state being messed up on the next
kernel entry, and crashing at BUG_ON(arch_irq_disabled_regs(regs)) in
the kernel exit handlers, or possibly worse.
Fix this by having tabort_syscall setting irq soft-mask back to enabled.
Reported-by: Eirik Fuller <efuller@redhat.com>
Fixes: 7fa95f9adaee7 ("powerpc/64s: system call support for scv/rfscv instructions")
