Ah indeed. Looking at syscall_exit_work label in entry_64.S,
do_syscall_trace_leave is called before ret_from_except which is where
we handle user preemption and do_notify_resume. So that looks fine.

Ok.

Hi Frederic, 

Thank you very much for the reminding. 

> 
> Could this problem happen in ppc as well?

I checked the code(64 bit) today, it seems to me that it won't happen.
But fortunately, we are in the ppc mailing list, please correct me if my
understanding is wrong.

By the way, I enabled CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE and PROVE_RCU, so if it
could happen, I think there should be some illegal RCU usage complaints
reported.  

Thanks, Zhong

In x86-64, schedule_user() and do_notify_resume() can be called before
syscall_trace_leave(). As a result we may be entering
syscall_trace_leave() in user mode (from a context tracking POV). To
fix this I added a call to user_exit() on the very beginning of that
function.

You can find the details in 2c5594df344cd1ff0cc9bf007dea3235582b3acf
("rcu: Fix unrecovered RCU user mode in syscall_trace_leave()").

Could this problem happen in ppc as well?

Thanks.

[RFC PATCH 1/5] powerpc: Syscall hooks for context tracking subsystem

2013-02-01 Thread Li Zhong

This is the syscall slow path hooks for context tracking subsystem,
corresponding to
[PATCH] x86: Syscall hooks for userspace RCU extended QS
  commit bf5a3c13b939813d28ce26c01425054c740d6731

TIF_MEMDIE is moved to the second 16-bits (with value 17), as it seems there
is no asm code using it. TIF_NOHZ is added to _TIF_SYCALL_T_OR_A, so it is
better for it to be in the same 16 bits with others in the group, so in the
asm code, andi. with this group could work.
