Ensure the stopper thread is active 'early', because the load balancer
pretty much assumes that its available. And when 'online &amp;&amp; active' the
load-balancer is fully available.

Not only the numa balancing stop_two_cpus() caller relies on it, but
also the self migration stuff does, and at CPU_ONLINE time the cpu
really is 'free' to run anything.

<title>stop_machine: Kill smp_hotplug_thread-&gt;pre_unpark, introduce stop_machine_unpark()</title>

1. Change smpboot_unpark_thread() to check -&gt;selfparking, just
   like smpboot_park_thread() does.

2. Introduce stop_machine_unpark() which sets -&gt;enabled and calls
   kthread_unpark().

3. Change smpboot_thread_call() and cpu_stop_init() to call
   stop_machine_unpark() by hand.

This way:

    - IMO the -&gt;selfparking logic becomes more consistent.

    - We can kill the smp_hotplug_thread-&gt;pre_unpark() method.

    - We can easily unpark the stopper thread earlier. Say, we
      can move stop_machine_unpark() from smpboot_thread_call()
      to sched_cpu_active() as Peter suggests.

<content type='text'>
cpu_stop_queue_work() checks stopper-&gt;enabled before it queues the
work, but -&gt;enabled == T can only guarantee cpu_stop_signal_done()
if we race with cpu_down().

This is not enough for stop_two_cpus() or stop_machine(), they will
deadlock if multi_cpu_stop() won't be called by one of the target
CPU's. stop_machine/stop_cpus are fine, they rely on stop_cpus_mutex.
But stop_two_cpus() has to check cpu_active() to avoid the same race
with hotplug, and this check is very unobvious and probably not even
correct if we race with cpu_up().

Change cpu_down() pass to clear -&gt;enabled before cpu_stopper_thread()
flushes the pending -&gt;works and returns with KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK set.

Note also that smpboot_thread_call() calls cpu_stop_unpark() which
sets enabled == T at CPU_ONLINE stage, so this CPU can't go away until
cpu_stopper_thread() is called at least once. This all means that if
cpu_stop_queue_work() succeeds, we know that work-&gt;fn() will be called.

Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() no longer uses it, there are
no users of try_get_online_cpus() in mainline.  This commit therefore
removes it.

check_for_tasks() doesn't need to disable irqs, recursive
read_lock() from interrupt is fine.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change in this cycle is the rewrite of the main SMP load
  balancing metric: the CPU load/utilization.  The main goal was to make
  the metric more precise and more representative - see the changelog of
  this commit for the gory details:

    9d89c257dfb9 ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")

  It is done in a way that significantly reduces complexity of the code:

    5 files changed, 249 insertions(+), 494 deletions(-)

  and the performance testing results are encouraging.  Nevertheless we
  need to keep an eye on potential regressions, since this potentially
  affects every SMP workload in existence.

  This work comes from Yuyang Du.

  Other changes:

   - SCHED_DL updates.  (Andrea Parri)

   - Simplify architecture callbacks by removing finish_arch_switch().
     (Peter Zijlstra et al)

   - cputime accounting: guarantee stime + utime == rtime.  (Peter
     Zijlstra)

   - optimize idle CPU wakeups some more - inspired by Facebook server
     loads.  (Mike Galbraith)

   - stop_machine fixes and updates.  (Oleg Nesterov)

   - Introduce the 'trace_sched_waking' tracepoint.  (Peter Zijlstra)

   - sched/numa tweaks.  (Srikar Dronamraju)

   - misc fixes and small cleanups"
