x86/alternatives, jumplabel: Use text_poke_early() before mm_init()
It supposed to be safe to modify static branches after jump_label_init(). But, because static key modifying code eventually calls text_poke() it can end up accessing a struct page which has not been initialized yet. Here is how to quickly reproduce the problem. Insert code like this into init/main.c: | +static DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(__test); | asmlinkage __visible void __init start_kernel(void) | { | char *command_line; |@@ -587,6 +609,10 @@ asmlinkage __visible void __init start_kernel(void) | vfs_caches_init_early(); | sort_main_extable(); | trap_init(); |+ { |+ static_branch_enable(&__test); |+ WARN_ON(!static_branch_likely(&__test)); |+ } | mm_init(); The following warnings show-up: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c:701 text_poke+0x20d/0x230 RIP: 0010:text_poke+0x20d/0x230 Call Trace: ? text_poke_bp+0x50/0xda ? arch_jump_label_transform+0x89/0xe0 ? __jump_label_update+0x78/0xb0 ? static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0x4d/0x80 ? static_key_enable+0x11/0x20 ? start_kernel+0x23e/0x4c8 ? secondary_startup_64+0xa5/0xb0 ---[ end trace abdc99c031b8a90a ]--- If the code above is moved after mm_init(), no warning is shown, as struct pages are initialized during handover from memblock. Use text_poke_early() in static branching until early boot IRQs are enabled and from there switch to text_poke. Also, ensure text_poke() is never invoked when unitialized memory access may happen by using adding a !after_bootmem assertion.
