This patch results in the following traceback on all arm64 boots with
EFI BIOS.

The problem is only seen with CONFIG_ACPI_PPTT=y, and thus only on arm64.

I Cced Xiongfeng, he sent a patch to fix this issue over a month ago:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210720112635.38565-1-wangxiongfeng2@huawei.com/T/

and the calltrace is exactly the same as below.

Sudeep, would you mind take a look again?

This is the patch working as intended.. You simply cannot schedule with
interrupts disabled as per the callchain.

That's what this change was supposed to catch :)

The below should fix this.

Subject: drivers: base: cacheinfo: Get rid of DEFINE_SMP_CALL_CACHE_FUNCTION()
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2021 13:48:34 +0200

DEFINE_SMP_CALL_CACHE_FUNCTION() was usefel before the CPU hotplug rework
to ensure that the cache related functions are called on the upcoming CPU
because the notifier itself could run on any online CPU.

The hotplug state machine guarantees that the callbacks are invoked on the
upcoming CPU. So there is no need to have this SMP function call
obfuscation. That indirection was missed when the hotplug notifiers were
converted.

This also solves the problem of ARM64 init_cache_level() invoking ACPI
functions which take a semaphore in that context. That's invalid as SMP
function calls run with interrupts disabled. Running it just from the
callback in context of the CPU hotplug thread solves this.

The warning is no longer seen with this patch applied on top of
v5.14-1100-gb91db6a0b52e, and I don't see any new problems on riscv,
x86/x86_64, or mips.

Tested-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

Thanks,
Guenter
