NAK. Using a different function which doesn't have the warning isn't a subsitute for fixing the problem properly. What you're doing is papering over the bug, making the warning go away without properly understanding the problem. The warning is there because something is being done wrong. What that is is exactly what is being said in the warning message. You're getting a CPU number in a context where preemptions can occur - and therefore the CPU that you're running on can change. Think about this sequence: - cpu = smp_processor_id(); /* returns 0 */ - you are preempted - you resume on CPU 1 - trace_clock_disable(clk->name, 0, 0); If trace_clock_disable() uses the CPU number to access per-CPU data without locking, that's going to cause corruption. Please, if you're going to fix a warning, analyse it properly first and don't just search for a function which appears to give you the same functionality but without the warning message. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Is anyone actually using the CPU field in this tracepoint? I don't see any usecase for it except for the case where you have a percpu clock, but even then I imagine the name of the clock would be different depending on which CPU it corresponds to. So why can't we just remove the CPU field from the tracepoint?

No idea, but for the point I'm raising, that's rather irrelevant... we need to nip these things in the bud before they become more common through allowing the misunderstanding to propagate. > I don't see > any usecase for it except for the case where you have a percpu clock, Which actually makes it all the more important to get the right CPU number, and to have atomicity between reading the CPU number and reading the percpu clock... without that the results may well be meaningless. If the use of a CPU number can be eliminated, then it should be. If not, the proper fix for this is to use interfaces which prevent pre-emption occuring during the critical region - so get_cpu() and put_cpu(). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
