x86: fix die() to not be preemptible
Andrew "Eagle Eye" Morton noticed that we use raw_local_save_flags() instead of raw_local_irq_save(flags) in die(). This allows the preemption of oopsing contexts - which is highly undesirable. It also causes CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT to complain, as reported by Miles Lane. this bug was introduced via: commit 39743c9ef717fd4f2b5583f010115c5f2482b8ae Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Fri Oct 19 20:35:03 2007 +0200 x86: use raw locks during oopses - spin_lock_irqsave(&die.lock, flags); + __raw_spin_lock(&die.lock); + raw_local_save_flags(flags); that is not a correct open-coding of spin_lock_irqsave(): both the ordering is wrong (irqs should be disabled _first_), and the wrong flags-saving API was used.
