Commit 6c81fe79 ("arm64: enable context tracking") did not update el0_sp_pc to use ct_user_exit, but this appears to have been unintentional. In commit 6ab6463a ("arm64: adjust el0_sync so that a function can be called") we made x0 available, and in the return to userspace we call ct_user_enter in the kernel_exit macro. Due to this, we currently don't correctly inform RCU of the user->kernel transition, and may erroneously account for time spent in the kernel as if we were in an extended quiescent state when CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING is enabled. As we do record the kernel->user transition, a userspace application making accesses from an unaligned stack pointer can demonstrate the imbalance, provoking the following warning: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 3660 at kernel/context_tracking.c:75 context_tracking_enter+0xd8/0xe4() Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 3660 Comm: a.out Not tainted 4.1.0-rc7+ #8 Hardware name: ARM Juno development board (r0) (DT) Call trace: [<ffffffc000089914>] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x124 [<ffffffc000089a48>] show_stack+0x10/0x1c [<ffffffc0005b3cbc>] dump_stack+0x84/0xc8 [<ffffffc0000b3214>] warn_slowpath_common+0x98/0xd0 [<ffffffc0000b330c>] warn_slowpath_null+0x14/0x20 [<ffffffc00013ada4>] context_tracking_enter+0xd4/0xe4 [<ffffffc0005b534c>] preempt_schedule_irq+0xd4/0x114 [<ffffffc00008561c>] el1_preempt+0x4/0x28 [<ffffffc0001b8040>] exit_files+0x38/0x4c [<ffffffc0000b5b94>] do_exit+0x430/0x978 [<ffffffc0000b614c>] do_group_exit+0x40/0xd4 [<ffffffc0000c0208>] get_signal+0x23c/0x4f4 [<ffffffc0000890b4>] do_signal+0x1ac/0x518 [<ffffffc000089650>] do_notify_resume+0x5c/0x68 ---[ end trace 963c192600337066 ]--- This patch adds the missing ct_user_exit to the el0_sp_pc entry path, correcting the context tracking for this case.
