Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] powerpc: fix preempt_count imbalances in perf and kexec paths
Date: Fri,  5 Jun 2026 13:59:09 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260605082912.305100-1-aboorvad@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Hi all,

This patch series fixes some minor preempt_count bookkeeping issues in
arch/powerpc/ found during a preemption leak audit prompted by the
lazy/full preemption model changes. These are get_cpu/put_cpu and
get_cpu_var/put_cpu_var pairing errors that leave preempt_count
incorrectly elevated or underflowed.

v2 -> v3:
 - Patches 2 and 3: use raw_smp_processor_id() instead of
   smp_processor_id(). Both paths run with interrupts
   disabled, so the plain accessor is sufficient.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260603062743.1152253-1-aboorvad@linux.ibm.com/

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260518050855.1147242-1-aboorvad@linux.ibm.com/

Testing:
 - Patches 2 and 3: kexec boot-tested on PowerNV (powernv_defconfig)
   and pseries (pseries_defconfig).
 - Patch 1: compile-tested only (ppc64e_defconfig + CONFIG_FSL_EMB_PERFMON);
   no e500/fsl_emb hardware to runtime-test.

Please let me know your comments.

Thanks,
Aboorva
