      clockevent: Prevent dead lock on clockevents_lock · f833bab8
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at
      some places and interrupts disabled at some other places.
      
      This results in a deadlock in this scenario.
      
      cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled
      cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled
      cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus.
      
      This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting
      for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not
      reaching the rendezvous point.
      
      Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with
      interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock.
      
      Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so
      that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier
      chain.
      
      This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous
      logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add
      a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks
      which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.
