For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ >From 920fa6b0e1f42b1e522e2114bc4bc2ce71a5a737 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Boyd Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:50:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7627/1: Predicate preempt logic on PREEMP_COUNT not PREEMPT alone commit 568dca15aa2a0f4ddee255894ec393a159f13147 upstream. Patrik Kluba reports that the preempt count becomes invalid due to the preempt_enable() call being unbalanced with a preempt_disable() call in the vfp assembly routines. This happens because preempt_enable() and preempt_disable() update preempt counts under PREEMPT_COUNT=y but the vfp assembly routines do so under PREEMPT=y. In a configuration where PREEMPT=n and DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y, PREEMPT_COUNT=y and so the preempt_enable() call in VFP_bounce() keeps subtracting from the preempt count until it goes negative. Fix this by always using PREEMPT_COUNT to decided when to update preempt counts in the ARM assembly code.
