once: fix race by moving DO_ONCE to separate section
The commit c2c60ea37e5b ("once: use __section(".data.once")") moved
DO_ONCE's ___done variable to .data.once section, which conflicts with
DO_ONCE_LITE() that also uses the same section.
This creates a race condition when clear_warn_once is used:
Thread 1 (DO_ONCE) Thread 2 (DO_ONCE)
__do_once_start
read ___done (false)
acquire once_lock
execute func
__do_once_done
write ___done (true) __do_once_start
release once_lock // Thread 3 clear_warn_once reset ___done
read ___done (false)
acquire once_lock
execute func
schedule once_work __do_once_done
once_deferred: OK write ___done (true)
static_branch_disable release once_lock
schedule once_work
once_deferred:
BUG_ON(!static_key_enabled)
DO_ONCE_LITE() in once_lite.h is used by WARN_ON_ONCE() and other warning
macros. Keep its ___done flag in the .data..once section and allow resetting
by clear_warn_once, as originally intended.
In contrast, DO_ONCE() is used for functions like get_random_once() and
relies on its ___done flag for internal synchronization. We should not reset
DO_ONCE() by clear_warn_once.
Fix it by isolating DO_ONCE's ___done into a separate .data..do_once section,
shielding it from clear_warn_once.
