In smp_cpus_done() we need to call smp_ops->setup_cpu() for the boot
CPU, which means it has to run *on* the boot CPU.
In the past we ensured it ran on the boot CPU by changing the CPU
affinity mask of current directly. That was removed in commit
6d11b87d55 ("powerpc/smp: Replace open coded task affinity logic"),
and replaced with a work queue call.
Unfortunately using a work queue leads to a lockdep warning, now that
the CPU hotplug lock is a regular semaphore:
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
...
kworker/0:1/971 is trying to acquire lock:
(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++++}, at: [<c000000000100974>] apply_workqueue_attrs+0x34/0xa0
but task is already holding lock:
((&wfc.work)){+.+.+.}, at: [<c0000000000fdb2c>] process_one_work+0x25c/0x800
...
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock((&wfc.work));
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
lock((&wfc.work));
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
Although the deadlock can't happen in practice, because
smp_cpus_done() only runs in early boot before CPU hotplug is allowed,
lockdep can't tell that.
Luckily in commit 8fb12156b8 ("init: Pin init task to the boot CPU,
initially") tglx changed the generic code to pin init to the boot CPU
to begin with. The unpinning of init from the boot CPU happens in
sched_init_smp(), which is called after smp_cpus_done().
So smp_cpus_done() is always called on the boot CPU, which means we
don't need the work queue call at all - and the lockdep warning goes
away.
