[PATCH v2] x86/xen: don't unbind uninitialized lock_kicker_irq
Posted by Brian Masney 3 years, 5 months ago
When booting a hyperthreaded system with the kernel parameter
'mitigations=auto,nosmt', the following warning occurs:

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:1112 unbind_from_irqhandler+0x4e/0x60
    ...
    Hardware name: Xen HVM domU, BIOS 4.2.amazon 08/24/2006
    ...
    Call Trace:
     xen_uninit_lock_cpu+0x28/0x62
     xen_hvm_cpu_die+0x21/0x30
     takedown_cpu+0x9c/0xe0
     ? trace_suspend_resume+0x60/0x60
     cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x9a/0x530
     _cpu_up+0x11a/0x130
     cpu_up+0x7e/0xc0
     bringup_nonboot_cpus+0x48/0x50
     smp_init+0x26/0x79
     kernel_init_freeable+0xea/0x229
     ? rest_init+0xaa/0xaa
     kernel_init+0xa/0x106
     ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40

The secondary CPUs are not activated with the nosmt mitigations and only
the primary thread on each CPU core is used. In this situation,
xen_hvm_smp_prepare_cpus(), and more importantly xen_init_lock_cpu(), is
not called, so the lock_kicker_irq is not initialized for the secondary
CPUs. Let's fix this by exiting early in xen_uninit_lock_cpu() if the
irq is not set to avoid the warning from above for each secondary CPU.

Changes since v1:
- Remove duplicate per_cpu() call and pass in irq variable.
- Changed subject from 'x86/xen: fix warning when running with nosmt
  mitigations'
- Shorten code comment
