From: Will Deacon <will@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 04e613ded8c26489b3e0f9101b44462f780d1a35 ] Commit ce3d31ad3cac ("arm64/smp: Move rcu_cpu_starting() earlier") ensured that RCU is informed early about incoming CPUs that might end up calling into printk() before they are online. However, if such a CPU fails the early CPU feature compatibility checks in check_local_cpu_capabilities(), then it will be powered off or parked without informing RCU, leading to an endless stream of stalls: | rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: | rcu: 2-O...: (0 ticks this GP) idle=002/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=0/0 fqs=2593 | (detected by 0, t=5252 jiffies, g=9317, q=136) | Task dump for CPU 2: | task:swapper/2 state:R running task stack: 0 pid: 0 ppid: 1 flags:0x00000028 | Call trace: | ret_from_fork+0x0/0x30 Ensure that the dying CPU invokes rcu_report_dead() prior to being powered off or parked.
