Series init, treewide, x86: Cleanup check_bugs() and start sanitizing the x86 boot process | expand

Commit Message

X86 is reworking the boot process so that initializations which are not
required during early boot can be moved into the late boot process and out
of the fragile and restricted initial boot phase.

arch_cpu_finalize_init() is the obvious place to do such initializations,
but arch_cpu_finalize_init() is invoked too late in start_kernel() e.g. for
initializing the FPU completely. fork_init() requires that the FPU is
initialized as the size of task_struct on X86 depends on the size of the
required FPU register buffer.

Fortunately none of the init calls between calibrate_delay() and
arch_cpu_finalize_init() is relevant for the functionality of
arch_cpu_finalize_init().

Invoke it right after calibrate_delay() where everything which is relevant
for arch_cpu_finalize_init() has been set up already.

No functional change intended.

I did my best to find a counterpoint to this statement. The only thing
I found was that lockdep_init_task(&init_task) in fork_init() is now
called after the spin_lock() usage in set_memory_4k(). But AFAICT, that
whole lockdep_init_task() call is unneeded because the fields it sets
are already statically initialized. I mention only because I'm not 100%
sure the lockdep_init_task() call is not serving some purpose I'm
missing.

Correct. The call there looks absolute pointless. Peter?
