[PATCH] init: Add lockdep annotation to kthreadd_done completer

[PATCH] init: Add lockdep annotation to kthreadd_done completer

[Helge Deller]

Add the missing lockdep annotation to avoid this warning:

 INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
 you didn't initialize this object before use?
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

This is pretty old code, as is the page_alloc_init_late() change.  Do
we know why this warning has just turned up lately?

I'll add cc:stable to these, but might take that away again if we can
answer the above.

btw, please don't forget the "^---$" between changelog and patch.

I haven't debugged in depth yet, but here is what I believe is the reason
why I do see those lockdep warnings and others not.

I'm building & testing on the parisc platform.
Just recently I added lockdep support to parisc for kernel 6.4 and backported
it to v6.0+. Since then I've seen the warnings.

And I think the main reason why I see those warnings on parisc and
others on other platforms don't, is that parisc is the only architecture
where __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED_VAL is NOT zero (0x1a46 actually).
The reason is that parisc offers only one assembler instruction which
operates atomicly on memory, and which we use to lock spinlocks:
ldcw ("load and clear word").
So, a "zero" spinlock word means the lock is locked, while non-zero means
it's unlocked.
For other platforms it's the other way around.

So, for a structure in e.g. __initdata[] which is pre-initialized by the compiler,
the spinlocks are locked by default (lockword = 0) on parisc, if they haven't
been initialized correctly, and thus the kernel will complain at runtime.

Now, maybe lockdep doesn't use spinlocks per se. I have't checked in depth yet,
but I'm sure it's somehow related to the odd __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED_VAL value
of parisc.

I wonder if the same bug appears if you use a non-zero __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED_VAL
on other platforms too (if it's possible).

Thanks for adding the patches.
I did sent two other patches as well: for watchdog and devtmpfs..

Ok.

[dropped Helge's assumptions that it's related to parisc's unusual
__ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED_VAL value. It turned out to be wrong.

Now I was able to trace down why I see those lockdep warnings on parisc.
The short answer is:
On parisc the _initdata section lies outside of the usual kernel
_stext ... _end range. Lockdep calls static_obj() which currently assumes
that __initdata is inside that range and thus returns "false".
That's why lockdep then reports
	INFO: trying to register non-static key.
which is wrong.

Please drop those 3 lockdep patches from your mm-queue:

mm-add-lockdep-annotation-to-pgdat_init_all_done_comp-completer.patch
init-add-lockdep-annotation-to-kthreadd_done-completer.patch
watchdog-fix-lockdep-warning.patch

I'll send one single patch which fixes static_obj() instead.

Thanks,
Helge
