x86/ldt: use "pr_info_once()" instead of open-coding it badly

2020-07-05T19:50:20+00:00

Using a mutex for "print this warning only once" is so overdesigned as to be actively offensive to my sensitive stomach. Just use "pr_info_once()" that already does this, although in a (harmlessly) racy manner that can in theory cause the message to be printed twice if more than one CPU races on that "is this the first time" test. [ If somebody really cares about that harmless data race (which sounds very unlikely indeed), that person can trivially fix printk_once() by using a simple atomic access, preferably with an optimistic non-atomic test first before even bothering to treat the pointless "make sure it is _really_ just once" case. A mutex is most definitely never the right primitive to use for something like this. ] Yes, this is a small and meaningless detail in a code path that hardly matters. But let's keep some code quality standards here, and not accept outrageously bad code.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A series of fixes for x86: - Reset MXCSR in kernel_fpu_begin() to prevent using a stale user space value. - Prevent writing MSR_TEST_CTRL on CPUs which are not explicitly whitelisted for split lock detection. Some CPUs which do not support it crash even when the MSR is written to 0 which is the default value. - Fix the XEN PV fallout of the entry code rework - Fix the 32bit fallout of the entry code rework - Add more selftests to ensure that these entry problems don't come back. - Disable 16 bit segments on XEN PV. It's not supported because XEN PV does not implement ESPFIX64" * tag 'x86-urgent-2020-07-05' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/ldt: Disable 16-bit segments on Xen PV x86/entry/32: Fix #MC and #DB wiring on x86_32 x86/entry/xen: Route #DB correctly on Xen PV x86/entry, selftests: Further improve user entry sanity checks x86/entry/compat: Clear RAX high bits on Xen PV SYSENTER selftests/x86: Consolidate and fix get/set_eflags() helpers selftests/x86/syscall_nt: Clear weird flags after each test selftests/x86/syscall_nt: Add more flag combinations x86/entry/64/compat: Fix Xen PV SYSENTER frame setup x86/entry: Move SYSENTER's regs->sp and regs->flags fixups into C x86/entry: Assert that syscalls are on the right stack x86/split_lock: Don't write MSR_TEST_CTRL on CPUs that aren't whitelisted x86/fpu: Reset MXCSR to default in kernel_fpu_begin()
