Message-Id: <1bbe1d0fdd64f1c4c3d138692441e6bdb1c99570.1434485184.git.luto@kernel.org> Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2015 13:16:48 -0700 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org> To: x86@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@...il.com>, Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>, Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>, Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@...glemail.com>, Borislav Petkov <bp@...en8.de>, Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>, Brian Gerst <brgerst@...il.com>, Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org> Subject: [RFC/INCOMPLETE 02/13] notifiers: Assert that RCU is watching in notify_die Low-level arch entries often call notify_die, and it's easy for arch code to fail to exit an RCU quiescent state first. Assert that we're not quiescent in notify_die.
