That looks like the KCOV helper accessing memory that's not safe to access in the interrupt handling context. Do not instrument the new syscall entry/exit code with KCOV, GCOV or UBSAN. Cc: Nicholas Piggin <npig...@gmail.com> Fixes: 68b34588e202 ("powerpc/64/sycall: Implement syscall entry/exit logic in C") Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens <d...@axtens.net> --- be warned: I haven't attempted to reproduce the crash yet, nor have I been able to test that this fixes it. I will attempt to do that soon. Logically though, it does seem like this would be a good thing to do regardless. --- arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile b/arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile index 1c4385852d3d..1d443a7dc8a7 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile @@ -156,12 +156,19 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_PPC_SECVAR_SYSFS) += secvar-sysfs.o GCOV_PROFILE_prom_init.o := n KCOV_INSTRUMENT_prom_init.o := n UBSAN_SANITIZE_prom_init.o := n + GCOV_PROFILE_kprobes.o := n KCOV_INSTRUMENT_kprobes.o := n UBSAN_SANITIZE_kprobes.o := n + GCOV_PROFILE_kprobes-ftrace.o := n KCOV_INSTRUMENT_kprobes-ftrace.o := n UBSAN_SANITIZE_kprobes-ftrace.o := n + +GCOV_PROFILE_syscall_64.o := n +KCOV_INSTRUMENT_syscall_64.o := n +UBSAN_SANITIZE_syscall_64.o := n + UBSAN_SANITIZE_vdso.o := n # Necessary for booting with kcov enabled on book3e machines -- 2.20.1
