Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/smp: Move rcu_cpu_starting() earlier
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2020 14:23:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201028182334.13466-1-cai@redhat.com> (raw)

The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in start_secondary() is not early enough
in the CPU-hotplug onlining process, which results in lockdep splats as
follows:

 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
 -----------------------------
 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3497 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
 rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
 no locks held by swapper/1/0.

 Call Trace:
 dump_stack+0xec/0x144 (unreliable)
 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x128/0x14c
 __lock_acquire+0x1060/0x1c60
 lock_acquire+0x140/0x5f0
 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x64/0xb0
 clockevents_register_device+0x74/0x270
 register_decrementer_clockevent+0x94/0x110
 start_secondary+0x134/0x800
 start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14

This is avoided by moving the call to rcu_cpu_starting up near the
beginning of the start_secondary() function. Note that the
raw_smp_processor_id() is required in order to avoid calling into
lockdep before RCU has declared the CPU to be watched for readers.
