This is called from sse_cpu_online() in the cpuhp callback, which runs 
preemptible, and the
boot CPU instance runs from an initcall. With DEBUG_PREEMPT you can get a 
__this_cpu_write() in
preemptible warning. Can you check? Moreover, if the task migrates between 
computing the per-CPU
address and the store, the wrong CPU's slot is written. I would suggest use 
this_cpu_write()
under preempt_disable().

Only KERNEL_SP and USER_SP are preserved. handle_exception's 
new_valid_map_cpus_check macro
parks a0/a1/a2 in TASK_TI_A0/A1/A2(tp) and reloads them a few instructions 
later, for any
page fault on a kernel address on 64-bit MMU. If an SSE arrives inside that 
window and the
handler takes a vmalloc/kfence fault of its own, the nested handle_exception 
runs the same
macro on the same tp and overwrites those three slots. When the SSE completes, 
the interrupted
macro reloads a0/a1/a2 with the handler's values and they end up in the saved 
context,
i.e. a corrupted syscall argument / user a0-a2. The window is small, but 
"nested exceptions
are transparent" is then false. Please save and restore those three slots the 
same way as
s6/s7.

I am wondering if this is the reason for the "repeated nested faults corrupt 
the interrupted context"
that your 6/9 patch refers to; if so it should be fixed here, not worked around 
in perf. Check if its
indeed true.
