From 569d6557ab957d6ae7e97a46ae669174be4189e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 14:13:15 -0500 Subject: x86: Use preempt_disable_notrace() in cycles_2_ns() When debug preempt is enabled, preempt_disable() can be traced by function and function graph tracing. There's a place in the function graph tracer that calls trace_clock() which eventually calls cycles_2_ns() outside of the recursion protection. When cycles_2_ns() calls preempt_disable() it gets traced and the graph tracer will go into a recursive loop causing a crash or worse, a triple fault. Simple fix is to use preempt_disable_notrace() in cycles_2_ns, which makes sense because the preempt_disable() tracing may use that code too, and it tracing it, even with recursion protection is rather pointless.
