Subject: [PATCH 04/15] x86/split_lock: Use non locked bit set instruction in set_cpu_cap
Date: Mon, 14 May 2018 11:52:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1526323945-211107-5-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1526323945-211107-1-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com>
set_bit() called by set_cpu_cap() is a locked bit set instruction for
atomic operation.
Since the c->x86_capability is not aligned to cache line depending on
compiler, the locked bit set instruction falls into split lock
situation which causes #AC exception when #AC exception is enabled by
split locked accesses.
But set_cpu_cap() is only called in early init phase on a CPU and
therefore there is no contention for set_cpu_cap(). So it's unnecessary
to be atomic operation.
Using __set_bit(), which is not a locked instruction, can fix the
kernel split lock issue and is faster than locked instruction.
