ACPI / processor: Acquire writer lock to update CPU maps
CPU system maps are protected with reader/writer locks. The reader
lock, get_online_cpus(), assures that the maps are not updated while
holding the lock. The writer lock, cpu_hotplug_begin(), is used to
udpate the cpu maps along with cpu_maps_update_begin().
However, the ACPI processor handler updates the cpu maps without
holding the the writer lock.
acpi_map_lsapic() is called from acpi_processor_hotadd_init() to
update cpu_possible_mask and cpu_present_mask. acpi_unmap_lsapic()
is called from acpi_processor_remove() to update cpu_possible_mask.
Currently, they are either unprotected or protected with the reader
lock, which is not correct.
For example, the get_online_cpus() below is supposed to assure that
cpu_possible_mask is not changed while the code is iterating with
for_each_possible_cpu().
get_online_cpus();
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
:
}
put_online_cpus();
However, this lock has no protection with CPU hotplug since the ACPI
processor handler does not use the writer lock when it updates
cpu_possible_mask. The reader lock does not serialize within the
readers.
This patch protects them with the writer lock with cpu_hotplug_begin()
along with cpu_maps_update_begin(), which must be held before calling
cpu_hotplug_begin(). It also protects arch_register_cpu() /
arch_unregister_cpu(), which creates / deletes a sysfs cpu device
interface. For this purpose it changes cpu_hotplug_begin() and
cpu_hotplug_done() to global and exports them in cpu.h.
