In rseq_test, there are two threads created. Those two threads are 'main' and 'migration_thread' separately. We also have the assumption that non-migration status on 'migration-worker' thread guarantees the same non-migration status on 'main' thread. Unfortunately, the assumption isn't true. The 'main' thread can be migrated from one CPU to another one between the calls to sched_getcpu() and READ_ONCE(__rseq.cpu_id). The following assert is raised eventually because of the mismatched CPU numbers.
The issue can be reproduced on arm64 system occasionally.
host# uname -r 5.19.0-rc6-gavin+ host# # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | tail -n 1 processor : 223 host# pwd /home/gavin/sandbox/linux.main/tools/testing/selftests/kvm host# for i in `seq 1 100`; \ do echo "--------> $i"; \ ./rseq_test; sleep 3; \ done --------> 1 --------> 2 --------> 3 --------> 4 --------> 5 --------> 6 ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== rseq_test.c:265: rseq_cpu == cpu pid=3925 tid=3925 errno=4 - Interrupted system call 1 0x0000000000401963: main at rseq_test.c:265 (discriminator 2) 2 0x0000ffffb044affb: ?? ??:0 3 0x0000ffffb044b0c7: ?? ??:0 4 0x0000000000401a6f: _start at ??:? rseq CPU = 4, sched CPU = 27
This fixes the issue by double-checking on the current CPU after call to READ_ONCE(__rseq.cpu_id) and restarting the test if the two consecutive CPU numbers aren't euqal.
