As TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING was defined as 0 on x86_64, it went unnoticed that the initialization of the .sp field in INIT_THREAD and some calculations in the low level startup code do not take the padding into account. FRED enabled kernels require a 16 byte padding, which means that the init task initialization and the low level startup code use the wrong stack offset. Subtract TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING in all affected places to adjust for this. Fixes: 65c9cc9e2c14 ("x86/fred: Reserve space for the FRED stack frame") Fixes: 3adee777ad0d ("x86/smpboot: Remove initial_stack on 64-bit") Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Xin Li (Intel) <xin@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202402262159.183c2a37-lkp@intel.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240304083333.449322-1-xin@zytor.com
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.
