Pull SMP hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This update is primarily a cleanup of the CPU hotplug locking code. The hotplug locking mechanism is an open coded RWSEM, which allows recursive locking. The main problem with that is the recursive nature as it evades the full lockdep coverage and hides potential deadlocks. The rework replaces the open coded RWSEM with a percpu RWSEM and establishes full lockdep coverage that way. The bulk of the changes fix up recursive locking issues and address the now fully reported potential deadlocks all over the place. Some of these deadlocks have been observed in the RT tree, but on mainline the probability was low enough to hide them away." * 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (37 commits) cpu/hotplug: Constify attribute_group structures powerpc: Only obtain cpu_hotplug_lock if called by rtasd ARM/hw_breakpoint: Fix possible recursive locking for arch_hw_breakpoint_init cpu/hotplug: Remove unused check_for_tasks() function perf/core: Don't release cred_guard_mutex if not taken cpuhotplug: Link lock stacks for hotplug callbacks acpi/processor: Prevent cpu hotplug deadlock sched: Provide is_percpu_thread() helper cpu/hotplug: Convert hotplug locking to percpu rwsem s390: Prevent hotplug rwsem recursion arm: Prevent hotplug rwsem recursion arm64: Prevent cpu hotplug rwsem recursion kprobes: Cure hotplug lock ordering issues jump_label: Reorder hotplug lock and jump_label_lock perf/tracing/cpuhotplug: Fix locking order ACPI/processor: Use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus() PCI: Replace the racy recursion prevention PCI: Use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus() perf/x86/intel: Drop get_online_cpus() in intel_snb_check_microcode() x86/perf: Drop EXPORT of perf_check_microcode ...
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.
