Merge: Do not decrement idle task preempt count in CPU offline
MR: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/4343 Description: Do not decrement idle task preempt count in CPU offline JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-38427 CVE: CVE-2021-47454 Build Info: https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=61490750 Tested: Verified Brew build test kernel RPMs Signed-off-by: Mamatha Inamdar <minamdar@redhat.com> commit 787252a Author: Nathan Lynch <nathanl@linux.ibm.com> Date: Fri Oct 15 12:39:02 2021 -0500 powerpc/smp: do not decrement idle task preempt count in CPU offline With PREEMPT_COUNT=y, when a CPU is offlined and then onlined again, we get: BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/1/0/0x00000000 no locks held by swapper/1/0. CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.15.0-rc2+ #100 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0xac/0x108 __schedule_bug+0xac/0xe0 __schedule+0xcf8/0x10d0 schedule_idle+0x3c/0x70 do_idle+0x2d8/0x4a0 cpu_startup_entry+0x38/0x40 start_secondary+0x2ec/0x3a0 start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14 This is because powerpc's arch_cpu_idle_dead() decrements the idle task's preempt count, for reasons explained in commit a7c2bb8 ("powerpc: Re-enable preemption before cpu_die()"), specifically "start_secondary() expects a preempt_count() of 0." However, since commit 2c669ef ("powerpc/preempt: Don't touch the idle task's preempt_count during hotplug") and commit f1a0a37 ("sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled"), that justification no longer holds. The idle task isn't supposed to re-enable preemption, so remove the vestigial preempt_enable() from the CPU offline path. Tested with pseries and powernv in qemu, and pseries on PowerVM.
