[ 01/23] hrtimer: Dont reinitialize a cpu_base lock on CPU_UP

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Bohan <mbohan@codeaurora.org>

commit 84cc8fd2fe65866e49d70b38b3fdf7219dd92fe0 upstream.

The current code makes the assumption that a cpu_base lock won't be
held if the CPU corresponding to that cpu_base is offline, which isn't
always true.

If a hrtimer is not queued, then it will not be migrated by
migrate_hrtimers() when a CPU is offlined. Therefore, the hrtimer's
cpu_base may still point to a CPU which has subsequently gone offline
if the timer wasn't enqueued at the time the CPU went down.

Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but a cpu_base's lock is blindly
reinitialized each time a CPU is brought up. If a CPU is brought
online during the period that another thread is performing a hrtimer
operation on a stale hrtimer, then the lock will be reinitialized
under its feet, and a SPIN_BUG() like the following will be observed:

<0>[   28.082085] BUG: spinlock already unlocked on CPU#0, swapper/0/0

As an example, this particular crash occurred when hrtimer_start() was
executed on CPU #0. The code locked the hrtimer's current cpu_base
corresponding to CPU #1. CPU #0 then tried to switch the hrtimer's
cpu_base to an optimal CPU which was online. In this case, it selected
the cpu_base corresponding to CPU #3.

Before it could proceed, CPU #1 came online and reinitialized the
spinlock corresponding to its cpu_base. Thus now CPU #0 held a lock
which was reinitialized. When CPU #0 finally ended up unlocking the
old cpu_base corresponding to CPU #1 so that it could switch to CPU
#3, we hit this SPIN_BUG() above while in switch_hrtimer_base().

CPU #0                            CPU #1
----                              ----
...                               <offline>
hrtimer_start()
lock_hrtimer_base(base #1)
...                               init_hrtimers_cpu()
switch_hrtimer_base()             ...
...                               raw_spin_lock_init(&cpu_base->lock)
raw_spin_unlock(&cpu_base->lock)  ...
<spin_bug>

Solve this by statically initializing the lock.
