------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrey Konovalov andreyknvl@gmail.com Subject: kcov: properly check for softirq context Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2024 04:21:58 +0200
When collecting coverage from softirqs, KCOV uses in_serving_softirq() to check whether the code is running in the softirq context. Unfortunately, in_serving_softirq() is > 0 even when the code is running in the hardirq or NMI context for hardirqs and NMIs that happened during a softirq.
As a result, if a softirq handler contains a remote coverage collection section and a hardirq with another remote coverage collection section happens during handling the softirq, KCOV incorrectly detects a nested softirq coverate collection section and prints a WARNING, as reported by syzbot.
This issue was exposed by commit a7f3813e589f ("usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: Switch to hrtimer transfer scheduler"), which switched dummy_hcd to using hrtimer and made the timer's callback be executed in the hardirq context.
Change the related checks in KCOV to account for this behavior of in_serving_softirq() and make KCOV ignore remote coverage collection sections in the hardirq and NMI contexts.
This prevents the WARNING printed by syzbot but does not fix the inability of KCOV to collect coverage from the __usb_hcd_giveback_urb when dummy_hcd is in use (caused by a7f3813e589f); a separate patch is required for that.
