From: Andy Lutomirski luto@kernel.org Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2017 20:43:56 -0800 Subject: x86/entry/64: Fix entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe() IRQ tracing
From: Andy Lutomirski luto@kernel.org
commit 548c3050ea8d16997ae27f9e080a8338a606fc93 upstream.
When I added entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe(), I left TRACE_IRQS_OFF before it. This means that users of entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe() were responsible for invoking TRACE_IRQS_OFF, and the one and only user (Xen, added in the same commit) got it wrong.
I think this would manifest as a warning if a Xen PV guest with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y were used with context tracking. (The context tracking bit is to cause lockdep to get invoked before we turn IRQs back on.) I haven't tested that for real yet because I can't get a kernel configured like that to boot at all on Xen PV.
Move TRACE_IRQS_OFF below the label.
