[PATCHv2] arm64/cpufeature: don't use mutex in bringup path

From: Mark Rutland
Date: Thu May 11 2017 - 11:02:00 EST


Currently, cpus_set_cap() calls static_branch_enable_cpuslocked(), which
must take the jump_label mutex.

We call cpus_set_cap() in the secondary bringup path, from the idle
thread where interrupts are disabled. Taking a mutex in this path "is a
NONO" regardless of whether it's contended, and something we must avoid.
Additionally, the secondary CPU doesn't hold the percpu rwsem (as this
is held by the primary CPU), so this triggers a lockdep splat.

This patch fixes both issues by moving the static_key poking from
cpus_set_cap() into enable_cpu_capabilities(). To account for the static
keys being set later, cpus_have_const_cap() is updated to use another
static key to check whether the const cap keys have been initialised.

This means that users of cpus_have_const_cap() gain should only gain a
single additional NOP in the fast path once the const caps are
initialised, but should always see the current cap value.

This rework means that we can remove the *_cpuslocked() helpers added in
commit d54bb72551b999dd ("arm64/cpufeature: Use
static_branch_enable_cpuslocked()").

Fixes: efd9e03facd075f5 ("arm64: Use static keys for CPU features")

Catalin, Will, assuming you're happy with the patch, it will need to go via the
tip tree.

Since v1 [1]:
* Kill redundant update_cpu_errata_workarounds() prototype
* Introduce arm64_const_caps_ready
