[lttng-dev] epoll_wait reboot kernel?

[zhenyu.ren@aliyun.com (zhenyu.ren)]

Oh,It seems not epoll related . I am using DBG/ERR() as debug way ,but this print-style method doesn't work as expected,so I mistake for epoll_wait. 
It seems gcc problem because if  I changed lib_ring_buffer_do_copy as the following,all  work well

#define lib_ring_buffer_do_copy(config, dest, src, len)         \
do {                                                            \
        size_t __len1 = (len);                                  \                              /*here , not __len=(len)*/
mdelay(0x135);\
        if (__builtin_constant_p(len))                          \
                memcpy(dest, src, __len1);                      \
        else                                                    \
                inline_memcpy(dest, src, __len1);               \
} while (0)

I disasembled lib_ring_buffer_write() and "vimdiff bad good" shows :
49c:       48 89 da                mov    %rbx,%rdx                                                            |       49c:       4c 89 f2                mov    %r14,%rdx

here rdx is the 3rd parameter to inline_memcpy().

I shortcut __event_probe__##_name() before _tstruct but kernel still reboot(So what left is  >metadata_printf).If I comment out "mask |= POLLIN" in lttng_metadata_ring_buffer_poll() ,kernel do not reboot. What I find out is before reboot the >callchain of  lttng-consumerd thread is consumer_thread_metadata_poll()->lttng_poll_wait(wait for metadata stream)->compat_epoll_wait().
