[ Upstream commit ce3d31ad3c ]
The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in secondary_start_kernel() 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:

This is avoided by moving the call to rcu_cpu_starting up near the
beginning of the secondary_start_kernel() function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
