Subject: [PATCH 283/414] softirq: Init softirq local lock after per cpu
 section is set up

I discovered this bug when booting 3.4-rt on my powerpc box. It crashed
with the following report:

The rtmutex_common.h:75 is:

rt_mutex_top_waiter(struct rt_mutex *lock)
{
	struct rt_mutex_waiter *w;

	w = plist_first_entry(&lock->wait_list, struct rt_mutex_waiter,
			       list_entry);
	BUG_ON(w->lock != lock);

	return w;
}

Where the waiter->lock is corrupted. I saw various other random bugs
that all had to with the softirq lock and plist. As plist needs to be
initialized before it is used I investigated how this lock is
initialized. It's initialized with:

void __init softirq_early_init(void)
{
	local_irq_lock_init(local_softirq_lock);
}

Where:

#define local_irq_lock_init(lvar)					\
	do {								\
		int __cpu;						\
		for_each_possible_cpu(__cpu)				\
			spin_lock_init(&per_cpu(lvar, __cpu).lock);	\
	} while (0)

As the softirq lock is a local_irq_lock, which is a per_cpu lock, the
initialization is done to all per_cpu versions of the lock. But lets
look at where the softirq_early_init() is called from.

In init/main.c: start_kernel()

/*
 * Interrupts are still disabled. Do necessary setups, then
 * enable them
 */
	softirq_early_init();
	tick_init();
	boot_cpu_init();
	page_address_init();
	printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s", linux_banner);
	setup_arch(&command_line);
	mm_init_owner(&init_mm, &init_task);
	mm_init_cpumask(&init_mm);
	setup_command_line(command_line);
	setup_nr_cpu_ids();
	setup_per_cpu_areas();
	smp_prepare_boot_cpu();	/* arch-specific boot-cpu hooks */

One of the first things that is called is the initialization of the
softirq lock. But if you look further down, we see the per_cpu areas
have not been set up yet. Thus initializing a local_irq_lock() before
the per_cpu section is set up, may not work as it is initializing the
per cpu locks before the per cpu exists.

By moving the softirq_early_init() right after setup_per_cpu_areas(),
the kernel boots fine.
