commit 367c820ef08082 ("arm64: Enable perf events based hard lockup detector")
reinitilizes lockup detector after arm64 PMU is initialized and open
a window for accessing smp_processor_id() in preemptible context.
Since hardlockup_detector_perf_init() always called in init stage
with a single cpu, but we initialize lockup detector after the init task
is migratable.

Fix this by utilizing lockup detector reconfiguration which calls
softlockup_start_all() on each cpu and calls watatchdog_nmi_enable() later.
Because softlockup_start_all() use IPI call function to make sure
watatchdog_nmi_enable() will bind on each cpu and fix this issue.

IMO, this just creates unnecessary dependency for hardlockup detector
init via softlockup detector (see the alternative definition of
lockup_detector_reconfigure()).

How about just the below fix in order to make CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT happy?

The arm64/Kconfig select HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF if we have NMI:
	select HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF if PERF_EVENTS && HAVE_PERF_EVENTS_NMI

And in lib/Kconfig.debug HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR select SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR automatically.
	config HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF
		bool
		select SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR

So we don't need to explicitly select softlockup.
And actually this patch is not a perfect solution like you said
(hardlockup depends on softlockup),
but the key point is that lockup_detector_init() seems only design for
using in early init stage and not for calling in later deffered initial process.

This won't solve the issue that arm64 called this in preemptible context,
I was trying to find a balance that can pass CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT and
calling lockup_detector_init() in non-preemptive context.

watchdog_nmi_probe() and the following hardlockup_detector_event_create use
this_cpu_read/write, thus the topic of solution is better to be
'how to call lockup_detector_init() in preemptive context'

we can't just use preempt_disable/enable between lockup_detector_init() because
the call tree inside it will use kamlloc() with GFP_KERNEL which would check by might_sleep()


The v2 is now what I can find to solve this and the smallest change.
But the drawback, again, is hardlockup depends on softlockup.

The other solution may be executed lockup_detector_init in a binded thread
which only bind to one cpu.


BRs,
Lecopzer

I agree; the current usage in armv8_pmu_driver_init() looks very broken to
me, and bodging it with raw_smp_processor_id() isn't the right solution.

Maybe we should just revert 367c820ef08082, as this looks like a design
issue rather than something with a simple fix?

I think that would make sense for now, then we can reconsider the whole
thing rather than looking for a point-fix.
