Debug interrupts can be taken during interrupt entry, since interrupt entry does not automatically turn them off. The kernel will check whether the faulting instruction is between [interrupt_base_book3e, __end_interrupts], and if so clear MSR[DE] and return. However, when the kernel is built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, it can't use LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r14,interrupt_base_book3e) and LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r15,__end_interrupts), as they ignore relocation. Thus, if the kernel is actually running at a different address than it was built at, the address comparison will fail, and the exception entry code will hang at kernel_dbg_exc. r2(toc) is also not usable here, as r2 still holds data from the interrupted context, so LOAD_REG_ADDR() doesn't work either. So we use the *name@got* to get the EV of two labels directly. Test programs test.c shows as follows: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (access("/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid", F_OK) == -1) printf("Kernel doesn't have perf_event support\n"); } Steps to reproduce the bug, for example: 1) ./gdb ./test 2) (gdb) b access 3) (gdb) r 4) (gdb) s Signed-off-by: Liu Hailong <liu.hailong6@zte.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Jiang Xuexin <jiang.xuexin@zte.com.cn> Reviewed-by: Jiang Biao <jiang.biao2@zte.com.cn> Reviewed-by: Liu Song <liu.song11@zte.com.cn> Reviewed-by: Huang Jian <huang.jian@zte.com.cn> [scottwood: cleaned up commit message, and specified bad behavior as a hang rather than an oops to correspond to mainline kernel behavior] Fixes: 1cb6e064 ("powerpc/book3e: support CONFIG_RELOCATABLE") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 4.4.x- Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <oss@buserror.net>
