Subject: [PATCH] cpu_pm: replace raw_notifier to atomic_notifier
This patch replace a rwlock and raw notifier by atomic notifier which
protected by spin_lock and rcu.
The first to reason to have this replace is due to a 'scheduling while
atomic' bug of RT kernel on arm/arm64 platform. On arm/arm64, rwlock
cpu_pm_notifier_lock in cpu_pm cause a potential schedule after irq
disable in idle call chain:
cpu_startup_entry
cpu_idle_loop
local_irq_disable()
cpuidle_idle_call
call_cpuidle
cpuidle_enter
cpuidle_enter_state
->enter :arm_enter_idle_state
cpu_pm_enter/exit
CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER
read_lock(&cpu_pm_notifier_lock); <-- sleep in idle
__rt_spin_lock();
schedule();
The kernel panic is here:
[ 4.609601] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/1/0/0x00000002

[ 4.609645] [<ffff00000808e004>] secondary_start_kernel+0x15c/0x1a0
Daniel Lezcano said this notification is needed on arm/arm64 platforms.
Sebastian suggested using atomic_notifier instead of rwlock, which is not
only removing the sleeping in idle, but also getting better latency
improvement.
This patch passed Fengguang's 0day testing.
