Thomas Gleixner 49dfe2a677 cpuhotplug: Link lock stacks for hotplug callbacks
The CPU hotplug callbacks are not covered by lockdep versus the cpu hotplug
rwsem.

CPU0						CPU1
cpuhp_setup_state(STATE, startup, teardown);
 cpus_read_lock();
  invoke_callback_on_ap();
    kick_hotplug_thread(ap);
    wait_for_completion();			hotplug_thread_fn()
    						  lock(m);
						  do_stuff();
						  unlock(m);

Lockdep does not know about this dependency and will not trigger on the
following code sequence:

	  lock(m);
	  cpus_read_lock();
	  
Add a lockdep map and connect the initiators lock chain with the hotplug
thread lock chain, so potential deadlocks can be detected.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
