The current ACPI PMU probing logic tries to associate PMUs with CPUs when the CPU is first brought online, in order to handle late hotplug, though PMUs are only registered during early boot, and so for late hotplugged CPUs this can only associate the CPU with an existing PMU. We tried to be clever and the have the arm_pmu_acpi_cpu_starting() callback allocate a struct arm_pmu when no matching instance is found, in order to avoid duplication of logic. However, as above this doesn't do anything useful for late hotplugged CPUs, and this requires us to allocate memory in an atomic context, which is especially problematic for PREEMPT_RT, as reported by Valentin and Pierre. This patch reworks the probing to detect PMUs for all online CPUs in the arm_pmu_acpi_probe() function, which is more aligned with how DT probing works. The arm_pmu_acpi_cpu_starting() callback only tries to associate CPUs with an existing arm_pmu instance, avoiding the problem of allocating in atomic context. Note that as we didn't previously register PMUs for late-hotplugged CPUs, this change doesn't result in a loss of existing functionality, though we will now warn when we cannot associate a CPU with a PMU. This change allows us to pull the hotplug callback registration into the arm_pmu_acpi_probe() function, as we no longer need the callbacks to be invoked shortly after probing the boot CPUs, and can register it without invoking the calls. For the moment the arm_pmu_acpi_init() initcall remains to register the SPE PMU, though in future this should probably be moved elsewhere (e.g. the arm64 ACPI init code), since this doesn't need to be tied to the regular CPU PMU code.

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.
