Paul E. McKenney d58f0f0ce6 rcu: Make rcu_cpu_starting() rely on interrupts being disabled
[ Upstream commit 15d44dfa40 ]

Currently, rcu_cpu_starting() is written so that it might be invoked
with interrupts enabled.  However, it is always called when interrupts
are disabled, either by rcu_init(), notify_cpu_starting(), or from a
call point prior to the call to notify_cpu_starting().

But why bother requiring that interrupts be disabled?  The purpose is
to allow the rcu_data structure's ->beenonline flag to be set after all
early processing has completed for the incoming CPU, thus allowing this
flag to be used to determine when workqueues have been set up for the
incoming CPU, while still allowing this flag to be used as a diagnostic
within rcu_core().

This commit therefore makes rcu_cpu_starting() rely on interrupts being
disabled.

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.
