tile: ns2cycles should use __raw_get_cpu_var
ns2cycles use per_cpu variables, and will, eventually, find its way into smp_processor_id(). This is not safe in a preemptible kernel; preemption should ideally be disabled. BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: systemd-modules/367 caller is ns2cycles+0x40/0xb8 Starting stack dump of tid 367, pid 367 (systemd-modules) on cpu 2 at cycle 20969956421 frame 0: 0xfffffff70004b860 dump_stack+0x0/0x20 (sp 0xfffffe407993fa90) frame 1: 0xfffffff7006abc28 debug_smp_processor_id+0x1a8/0x1e0 (sp 0xfffffe407993fa90) frame 2: 0xfffffff7004d7b40 ns2cycles+0x40/0xb8 (sp 0xfffffe407993fab8) frame 3: 0xfffffff7004dc578 __ndelay+0x38/0x80 (sp 0xfffffe407993fae0) However, in this case: - the frequency is the same accross all cores - we use the data read-only - we do not scale the frequency Which means that we can use the __raw_get_cpu_var instead.
