[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v2 5/6] x86/alternatives: do not BUG during apply
alternatives is used both at boot time, and when loading livepatch payloads. While for the former it makes sense to panic, it's not useful for the later, as for livepatches it's possible to fail to load the livepatch if alternatives cannot be resolved and continue operating normally. Relax the BUGs in _apply_alternatives() to instead return an error code. The caller will figure out whether the failures are fatal and panic. Print an error message to provide some user-readable information about what went wrong. Signed-off-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v1: - Unconditionally return from _apply_alternative() and let the caller panic if required. - Remove test, as next patch imposes restrictions that break the test. --- xen/arch/x86/alternative.c | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++------ xen/arch/x86/include/asm/alternative.h | 2 +- xen/common/livepatch.c | 10 +++++- 3 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/xen/arch/x86/alternative.c b/xen/arch/x86/alternative.c index 7824053c9d33..c8848ba6006e 100644 --- a/xen/arch/x86/alternative.c +++ b/xen/arch/x86/alternative.c @@ -175,9 +175,9 @@ extern void *const __initdata_cf_clobber_end[]; * invocation, such that no CALLs/JMPs to NULL pointers will be left * around.
