From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" With function tracing starting in early bootup and having its trampoline pages being read only, a bug triggered with the following: kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:189! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.12.0-rc2-test+ #3 Hardware name: MSI MS-7823/CSM-H87M-G43 (MS-7823), BIOS V1.6 02/22/2014 task: ffffffffb4222500 task.stack: ffffffffb4200000 RIP: 0010:change_page_attr_set_clr+0x269/0x302 RSP: 0000:ffffffffb4203c88 EFLAGS: 00010046 RAX: 0000000000000046 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 00000001b6000000 RDX: ffffffffb4203d40 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffffffb4240d60 RBP: ffffffffb4203d18 R08: 00000001b6000000 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: ffffffffb4203aa8 R11: 0000000000000003 R12: ffffffffc029b000 R13: ffffffffb4203d40 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff9a639ea00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffff9a636b384000 CR3: 00000001ea21d000 CR4: 00000000000406b0 Call Trace: change_page_attr_clear+0x1f/0x21 set_memory_ro+0x1e/0x20 arch_ftrace_update_trampoline+0x207/0x21c ? ftrace_caller+0x64/0x64 ? 0xffffffffc029b000 ftrace_startup+0xf4/0x198 register_ftrace_function+0x26/0x3c function_trace_init+0x5e/0x73 tracer_init+0x1e/0x23 tracing_set_tracer+0x127/0x15a register_tracer+0x19b/0x1bc init_function_trace+0x90/0x92 early_trace_init+0x236/0x2b3 start_kernel+0x200/0x3f5 x86_64_start_reservations+0x29/0x2b x86_64_start_kernel+0x17c/0x18f secondary_startup_64+0x9f/0x9f ? secondary_startup_64+0x9f/0x9f Interrupts should not be enabled at this early in the boot process. It is also fine to leave interrupts enabled during this time as there's only one CPU running, and on_each_cpu() means to only run on the current CPU. If early_boot_irqs_disabled is set, it is safe to run cpu_flush_range() with interrupts disabled. Don't trigger a BUG_ON() in that case.
