[    6.995629] Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
[    6.995748] CPU: 9 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/9 Not tainted 6.6.0-rc2-kcsan-00003-g16819584c239-dirty #21
[    6.995758] Hardware name: ASRock X670E PG Lightning/X670E PG Lightning, BIOS 1.21 04/26/2023
[    6.995765] ==================================================================

Please find the complete list at: https://domac.alu.unizg.hr/~mtodorov/linux/patches/acpica_utdebug/acpi_ut_status_exit.log.xz

A number of unprotected increments:

        acpi_gbl_nesting_level++;

and conditional statements:

        if (acpi_gbl_nesting_level) {
                acpi_gbl_nesting_level--;
        }

no longer work in SMP environment.

Proper locking like

        spin_lock(&acpi_utdebug_lock);
        acpi_gbl_nesting_level++;
        spin_unlock(&acpi_utdebug_lock);

and

        spin_lock(&acpi_utdebug_lock);
        if (acpi_gbl_nesting_level) {
                acpi_gbl_nesting_level--;
        }
        spin_unlock(&acpi_utdebug_lock);

makes these data-races go away.

Additionally, READ_ONCE() or WRITE_ONCE() is required with the global variable
acpi_gbl_nesting_level to prevent unwanted read or write reordering or other funny
stuff the optmisers do.

The patch eliminates KCSAN BUG warnings.

v2 -> v3:
 Made the pull request at the ACPICA github.
 Fixed DEFINE_SPINLOCK() undefined warning by putting it inside #ifdef ACPI_DEBUG_OUTPUT
 ... #endif
 Capitalised ACPICA according to the convention.

v1 -> v2:
 Moved the declaration of 'u32 nesting_level' inside #ifdef ACPI_APPLICATION ... #endif
 according to the unused variable warning of the kernel test robot.

v1:
 Preliminary RFC version of the patch.

No, you can't do that in the ACPICA code.  Likewise for other
Linux-specific pieces of code in the patch below.

I'd very much prefer you to send a proper problem report instead of
sending patches like this.

As it stands, I'm not even sure what problem exactly this is
attempting to address.

Thanks!

I was so enthusiastic about the patch that cleared all the KCSAN data-race bug warnings,
that I must have forgot about sending one.

Patching of hundreds of annoying KCSAN acpi warnings seemed so good that I forgot about the
procedure, sorry.

I am aware that the maintainers have to carefully evaluate any contribution in order for the
kernel not becoming bloated and unstable ...

I hope the attached excerpt from the dmesg log will help.

Anytime.
