The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in smp_init_secondary() 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: show_stack+0x158/0x1f0 dump_stack+0x1f2/0x238 __lock_acquire+0x2640/0x4dd0 lock_acquire+0x3a8/0xd08 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0xc0/0xf0 clockevents_register_device+0xa8/0x528 init_cpu_timer+0x33e/0x468 smp_init_secondary+0x11a/0x328 smp_start_secondary+0x82/0x88 This is avoided by moving the call to rcu_cpu_starting up near the beginning of the smp_init_secondary() function. Note that the raw_smp_processor_id() is required in order to avoid calling into lockdep before RCU has declared the CPU to be watched for readers.

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.
