SubjectRe: linux-next: Tree for May 29 (__rdmsr_on_cpu() OOPS)
Date

next-20090529 oopses in __rdmsr_on_cpu() on my Pentium M laptop.

.jpg + .config:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/bart/next-20090529-oops.*

(gdb) l *0xc023410f
0xc023410f is in __rdmsr_on_cpu (arch/x86/lib/msr.c:25).
20 if (rv->msrs)
21 reg = &rv->msrs[this_cpu - rv->off];
22 else
23 reg = &rv->reg;
24
25 rdmsr(rv->msr_no, reg->l, reg->h);
26 }
27
28 static void __wrmsr_on_cpu(void *info)
29 {

Thus the problem seems to be introduced by:

commit 23d19840368b2787d2da97ad0f0f29248503648a

x86: MSR: add methods for writing of an MSR on several CPUs
...

and indeed the following patch fixes it:

[ Borislav, feel free to fold it into the above change or replace by
a more complete one if needed (there may be more rv fields needing
initialization). ]

Subject: [PATCH] x86: MSR: fix __rdmsr_on_cpu() OOPS

{rd,wr}msr_on_cpu() need to explicitly initalize rv.msrs
(since rv is allocated on the stack).
