This is an alternative to another series[1].
The primary purpose of this series for v4.4-rt is to resolve problem that
WARNING in unpin_current_cpu() happens repeatedly while kernel is booting.
Please see commit message of the last patch (17/17) for more details
about the problem and how it's resolved.
This series consists of the following parts:
1-16: A patch series backported from mainline[2]. Its original purpose
is to enable earlier might_sleep() and smp_processor_id(), but
another role here is to introduces SYSTEM_SCHEDULING for 17.
17: A fix for unpin_current_cpu() WARNING picked up from changes in
v4.14-rt, which requires SYSTEM_SCHEDULING by the series above.
The commits from the backported series below are adjusted to v4.4-rt.
See comments around "Conflicts" in each commit for details.
ef284f5c Adjusted to handle 82611c14 not in v4.4.
b903dfb2 Ignored. The target code is added by d7b05582, but it's for
deferred IOMMU support which should not be backported.
ff48cd26 Adjusted to handle cf775444 not in v4.4.
As v4.4-rt have been EOL already, it's not expected that this series
is applied to the branch anymore.
On the other hand, the Civil Infrastructure Platform Project (CIP)
has been maintaining its 4.4 SLTS RT kernel[3][4] based on v4.4-rt,
and needs to fix the problem above by this series.
It is much appreciated if RT experts could take a look at the series
and give feedbacks, especially about whether changes by the backported
series such as adding a new system_state are acceptable in regular
RT kernel maintenance so far and in the future (i.e. mainline based).
