If this does not check the preempt flag, it is a problem. Maybe arm64 needs to do fixup and abort instead of do_mem_abort()?My kernel was built without CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, so the preempt_disable() does nothing more than act as a barrier. In this case, it can pass the check by schedule(). Perhaps this is another issue?
This is why I never triggered it. I always have PREEMPT_COUNT enabled. I have tests that test without it, but I don't think those tests access trace_marker, and if they do, they don't stress it. -- Steve
