From: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ce3d31ad3cac765484463b4f5a0b6b1f8f1a963e ] The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in secondary_start_kernel() 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_backtrace+0x0/0x3c8 show_stack+0x14/0x60 dump_stack+0x14c/0x1c4 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x134/0x14c __lock_acquire+0x1c30/0x2600 lock_acquire+0x274/0xc48 _raw_spin_lock+0xc8/0x140 vprintk_emit+0x90/0x3d0 vprintk_default+0x34/0x40 vprintk_func+0x378/0x590 printk+0xa8/0xd4 __cpuinfo_store_cpu+0x71c/0x868 cpuinfo_store_cpu+0x2c/0xc8 secondary_start_kernel+0x244/0x318 This is avoided by moving the call to rcu_cpu_starting up near the beginning of the secondary_start_kernel() function.
