Subject: printk_caller_id() crashing with UML/GCOV
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2023 12:57:19 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALkUMdTX89qpGKfTRHOpMgHhiLrMEEnWed9hhV5S5FeWj_k=tw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I got following GCOV configs enabled
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y
CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y
and was trying to run UML (kernel version 6.1.44) and ended up in a
crash in printk_caller_id().
I tried to debug and it seems current_thread_info is returning NULL
and that is because it is not yet set up. It hit much before mm_init
or any thread_info could be created.
this print is actually coming from __gcov_init
void __gcov_init(struct gcov_info *info)
{
static unsigned int gcov_version;
mutex_lock(&gcov_lock);
if (gcov_version == 0) {
gcov_version = gcov_info_version(info);
/*
* Printing gcc's version magic may prove useful for debugging
* incompatibility reports.
*/
// Need to uncomment post fixing NC-124446
pr_info("version magic: 0x%x\n", gcov_version);
<<<<<<< this pr_info causing crash
$ gdb ./linux

#2 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
I am not sure if any of my .config is causing this. I don't think we
can use pr_info so early. I do see that this pr_info in __gcov_init
was added long back in 2019.
Thanks,
Vimal
