Currently, cpus_set_cap() calls static_branch_enable_cpuslocked(), which must take the jump_label mutex. We call cpus_set_cap() in the secondary bringup path, from the idle thread where interrupts are disabled. Taking a mutex in this path "is a NONO" regardless of whether it's contended, and something we must avoid. We didn't spot this until recently, as ___might_sleep() won't warn for this case until all CPUs have been brought up. This patch avoids taking the mutex in the secondary bringup path. The poking of static keys is deferred until enable_cpu_capabilities(), which runs in a suitable context on the boot CPU. To account for the static keys being set later, cpus_have_const_cap() is updated to use another static key to check whether the const cap keys have been initialised, falling back to the caps bitmap until this is the case. This means that users of cpus_have_const_cap() gain should only gain a single additional NOP in the fast path once the const caps are initialised, but should always see the current cap value. The hyp code should never dereference the caps array, since the caps are initialized before we run the module initcall to initialise hyp. A check is added to the hyp init code to document this requirement. This change will sidestep a number of issues when the upcoming hotplug locking rework is merged.

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.
