From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>
When function tracing for IPIs is enabled, we get a warning for an
overflow of the ipi_types array with the IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE type
as triggered by raise_nmi():
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c: In function 'raise_nmi':
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:489:2: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
trace_ipi_raise(target, ipi_types[ipinr]);
This is a correct warning as we actually overflow the array here.
This patch raise_nmi() to call __smp_cross_call() instead of
smp_cross_call(), to avoid calling into ftrace. For clarification,
I'm also adding a two new code comments describing how this one
is special.
The warning appears to have shown up after patch e7273ff49acf
("ARM: 8488/1: Make IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE a "non-secure" SGI"), which
changed the number assignment from '15' to '8', but as far as I can
tell has existed since the IPI tracepoints were first introduced.
If we decide to backport this patch to stable kernels, we probably
need to backport e7273ff49acf as well.
Resubmiting this patch is because that I found coverity is complaining
the issue this patch fixed, and also I got the traces like below:
"ipi_raise: target_mask=00000001 (machine_suspend)" which actually was
the TPS of suspend_resume[1] rather than ipi_raise.

Hi All,
If there's no comments, should I submit this patch on RMK's Patch system?
Thanks,

What's the status on this patch? it does not seem to be in v5.0-rc3 nor
linux-next and looks like an actual issue.
Also, I'm assuming the patch is avoiding the tracing of
IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE because the tracing is not NMI safe. It would be good
to have a comment about that either near NR_IPI or ipi_types stating why
this IPI is excluded.
