MIPS re-enables interrupts on its idle routine and performs
a TIF_NEED_RESCHED check afterwards before putting the CPU to sleep.
The IRQs firing between the check and the 'wait' instruction may set the
TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag. In order to deal with this possible race, IRQs
interrupting __r4k_wait() rollback their return address to the
beginning of __r4k_wait() so that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is checked
again before going back to sleep.
However idle IRQs can also queue timers that may require a tick
reprogramming through a new generic idle loop iteration but those timers
would go unnoticed here because __r4k_wait() only checks
TIF_NEED_RESCHED. It doesn't check for pending timers.
Fix this with fast-forwarding idle IRQs return address to the end of the
idle routine instead of the beginning, so that the generic idle loop
handles both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and pending timers.

You can also use label 1 as the LoongArch version.

For MIPS the rollback region is not 3 instructions, and so you cannot
use 0xc below. I think there is no chance for the wait instruction
after this patch.

Hi, thanks for the replies!
Huacai: I used the '1' label when I compiled the first time, but I
noticed this warning, so I decided to use the label to avoid this:
"WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference:
rollback_except_vec_vi+0x4 (section: .text) -> except_vec4 (section:
.init.text)"
By the way, I will use the 1 label like you suggested.

About this, does it look better if i don't change this part of the
code (except for PTR_LA k1, 1b) ?
eg.

xori k0, 0x1f
bne k0, k1, \handler
So the real change would be:

Maybe what I'm going to say is silly...
But considering the region should be a power of 2, maybe can also be
changed with:
ori k0, 0x0f
addi k0, 1
Thanks for your time!

Le Fri, Feb 14, 2025 at 11:50:47AM +0100, Marco Crivellari a écrit : > MIPS re-enables interrupts on its idle routine and performs > a TIF_NEED_RESCHED check afterwards before putting the CPU to sleep. > > The IRQs firing between the check and the 'wait' instruction may set the > TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag. In order to deal with this possible race, IRQs > interrupting __r4k_wait() rollback their return address to the > beginning of __r4k_wait() so that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is checked > again before going back to sleep. > > However idle IRQs can also queue timers that may require a tick > reprogramming through a new generic idle loop iteration but those timers > would go unnoticed here because __r4k_wait() only checks > TIF_NEED_RESCHED. It doesn't check for pending timers. > > Fix this with fast-forwarding idle IRQs return address to the end of the > idle routine instead of the beginning, so that the generic idle loop > handles both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and pending timers. > > Signed-off-by: Marco Crivellari <marco.crivellari@suse.com> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Thanks a lot!
