commit dea1d0f5f1284e3defee4b8484d9fc230686cd42 upstream.

The move of the unpark functions to the control thread moved the BUG_ON()
there as well. While it made some sense in the idle thread of the upcoming
CPU, it's bogus to crash the control thread on the already online CPU,
especially as the function has a return value and the callsite is prepared
to handle an error return.

Replace it with a WARN_ON_ONCE() and return a proper error code.

commit 9cd4f1a4e7a858849e889a081a99adff83e08e4c upstream.

Vikram reported the following backtrace:

   BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/7/0/0x00000002
   CPU: 7 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/7 Not tainted 4.9.32-perf+ #680
   schedule

   __kthread_bind
   __kthread_unpark
   kthread_unpark
   cpuhp_online_idle
   cpu_startup_entry
   secondary_start_kernel

He analyzed correctly that a parked cpu hotplug thread of an offlined CPU
was still on the runqueue when the CPU came back online and tried to unpark
it. This causes the thread which invoked kthread_unpark() to call
wait_task_inactive() and subsequently schedule() with preemption disabled.
His proposed workaround was to "make sure" that a parked thread has
scheduled out when the CPU goes offline, so the situation cannot happen.

But that's still wrong because the root cause is not the fact that the
percpu thread is still on the runqueue and neither that preemption is
disabled, which could be simply solved by enabling preemption before
calling kthread_unpark().

The real issue is that the calling thread is the idle task of the upcoming
CPU, which is not supposed to call anything which might sleep.  The moron,
who wrote that code, missed completely that kthread_unpark() might end up
in schedule().

The solution is simpler than expected. The thread which controls the
hotplug operation is waiting for the CPU to call complete() on the hotplug
state completion. So the idle task of the upcoming CPU can set its state to
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE and invoke complete(). This in turn wakes the control
task on a different CPU, which then can safely do the unpark and kick the
now unparked hotplug thread of the upcoming CPU to complete the bringup to
the final target state.

  __cpu_up()  ------------&gt;

  bringup_wait_for_ap()

                                cpuhp_online_idle();
                &lt;------------    complete();
    unpark(AP-&gt;stopper);
    unpark(AP-&gt;hotplugthread);
                                while(1)

If a custom CPU target is specified and that one is not available _or_
can't be interrupted then the code returns to userland without dropping a
lock as notices by lockdep:

|echo 133 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/hotplug/target
| ================================================
| [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
| ------------------------------------------------

|  #0:  (device_hotplug_lock){+.+...}, at: [&lt;ffffffff815b5650&gt;] lock_device_hotplug_sysfs+0x10/0x40

So release the lock then.

<title>lockdep: Fix per-cpu static objects</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8ce371f9846ef1e8b3cc8f6865766cb5c1f17e40</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 383776fa7527 ("locking/lockdep: Handle statically initialized
PER_CPU locks properly") we try to collapse per-cpu locks into a single
class by giving them all the same key. For this key we choose the canonical
address of the per-cpu object, which would be the offset into the per-cpu
area.

This has two problems:

 - there is a case where we run !0 lock-&gt;key through static_obj() and
   expect this to pass; it doesn't for canonical pointers.

 - 0 is a valid canonical address.

Cure both issues by redefining the canonical address as the address of the
per-cpu variable on the boot CPU.

Since I didn't want to rely on CPU0 being the boot-cpu, or even existing at
all, track the boot CPU in a variable.

<title>cpu/hotplug: Serialize callback invocations proper</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dc434e056fe1dada20df7ba07f32739d3a701adf</id>
<content type='text'>
The setup/remove_state/instance() functions in the hotplug core code are
serialized against concurrent CPU hotplug, but unfortunately not serialized
against themself.

As a consequence a concurrent invocation of these function results in
corruption of the callback machinery because two instances try to invoke
callbacks on remote cpus at the same time. This results in missing callback
invocations and initiator threads waiting forever on the completion.

The obvious solution to replace get_cpu_online() with cpu_hotplug_begin()
is not possible because at least one callsite calls into these functions
from a get_online_cpu() locked region.

Extend the protection scope of the cpuhp_state_mutex from solely protecting
the state arrays to cover the callback invocation machinery as well.
