If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Yang Shi When running kprobe on -rt kernel, the below bug is caught: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rtmutex.c:931 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 128, pid: 14, name: migration/0 INFO: lockdep is turned off. irq event stamp: 238 hardirqs last enabled at (237): [<80b5aecc>] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x88/0x90 hardirqs last disabled at (238): [<80b56d88>] __schedule+0xec/0x94c softirqs last enabled at (0): [<80225584>] copy_process.part.5+0x30c/0x1994 softirqs last disabled at (0): [< (null)>] (null) Preemption disabled at:[<802f2b98>] cpu_stopper_thread+0xc0/0x140 CPU: 0 PID: 14 Comm: migration/0 Tainted: G O 4.8.3-rt2 #1 Hardware name: Freescale LS1021A [<80212e7c>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<8020cd2c>] (show_stack+0x20/0x24) [<8020cd2c>] (show_stack) from [<80689e14>] (dump_stack+0xa0/0xcc) [<80689e14>] (dump_stack) from [<8025a43c>] (___might_sleep+0x1b8/0x2a4) [<8025a43c>] (___might_sleep) from [<80b5b324>] (rt_spin_lock+0x34/0x74) [<80b5b324>] (rt_spin_lock) from [<80b5c31c>] (__patch_text_real+0x70/0xe8) [<80b5c31c>] (__patch_text_real) from [<80b5c3ac>] (patch_text_stop_machine+0x18/0x20) [<80b5c3ac>] (patch_text_stop_machine) from [<802f2920>] (multi_cpu_stop+0xfc/0x134) [<802f2920>] (multi_cpu_stop) from [<802f2ba0>] (cpu_stopper_thread+0xc8/0x140) [<802f2ba0>] (cpu_stopper_thread) from [<802563a4>] (smpboot_thread_fn+0x1a4/0x354) [<802563a4>] (smpboot_thread_fn) from [<80251d38>] (kthread+0x104/0x11c) [<80251d38>] (kthread) from [<80207f70>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x24) Since patch_text_stop_machine() is called in stop_machine() which disables IRQ, sleepable lock should be not used in this atomic context, so replace patch_lock to raw lock.
