Subject: cpuhotplug: Link lock stacks for hotplug callbacks

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>


[ Upstream commit 49dfe2a6779717d9c18395684ee31bdc98b22e53 ]

The CPU hotplug callbacks are not covered by lockdep versus the cpu hotplug
rwsem.

CPU0						CPU1
cpuhp_setup_state(STATE, startup, teardown);
 cpus_read_lock();
  invoke_callback_on_ap();
    kick_hotplug_thread(ap);
    wait_for_completion();			hotplug_thread_fn()
    						  lock(m);
						  do_stuff();
						  unlock(m);

Lockdep does not know about this dependency and will not trigger on the
following code sequence:

	  lock(m);
	  cpus_read_lock();

Add a lockdep map and connect the initiators lock chain with the hotplug
thread lock chain, so potential deadlocks can be detected.
