[PATCH] powerpc/smp: Move rcu_cpu_starting() earlier

From: Qian Cai <hidden>
Date: 2020-10-28 22:24:39

The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in start_secondary() 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_stack+0xec/0x144 (unreliable)
 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x128/0x14c
 __lock_acquire+0x1060/0x1c60
 lock_acquire+0x140/0x5f0
 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x64/0xb0

 register_decrementer_clockevent+0x94/0x110
 start_secondary+0x134/0x800
 start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14

This is avoided by moving the call to rcu_cpu_starting up near the
beginning of the start_secondary() function. Note that the
raw_smp_processor_id() is required in order to avoid calling into
lockdep before RCU has declared the CPU to be watched for readers.

Since when?
What kernel version?

I haven't seen this running CPU hotplug tests with PROVE_LOCKING=y on
v5.10-rc1. Am I missing a CONFIG?

My guess would be that adding CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y will
get you some splats.

							Thanx, Paul

For me, it is since the commit in the link which looks now merged into
v5.10-rc1. Then, it needs CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y.
What kernel version?

I haven't seen this running CPU hotplug tests with PROVE_LOCKING=y on
v5.10-rc1. Am I missing a CONFIG?

Well, I don't have that set, so it should be CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y. Anyway,
this is .config to reproduce on Power9 NV:
