[ Upstream commit daed80ed07580e5adc0e6d8bc79933a35154135a ] When preemption is enabled in kernel and if any task which can be preempted should not use smp_processor_id() directly, since CPU switch can happen at any time, the previous value of cpu_id differs with current cpu_id. As a result we see the below call trace during xlnx_event_manager_probe. [ 6.140197] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x190 [ 6.143884] show_stack+0x18/0x40 [ 6.147220] dump_stack_lvl+0x7c/0xa0 [ 6.150907] dump_stack+0x18/0x34 [ 6.154241] check_preemption_disabled+0x124/0x134 [ 6.159068] debug_smp_processor_id+0x20/0x2c [ 6.163453] xlnx_event_manager_probe+0x48/0x250 To protect cpu_id, It is recommended to use get_cpu()/put_cpu() to disable preemption, get the cpu_id and enable preemption respectively. (For Reference, Documentation/locking/preempt-locking.rst and Documentation/kernel-hacking/hacking.rst) Use preempt_disable()/smp_processor_id()/preempt_enable() API's to achieve the same.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
