The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in smp_init_secondary() is not early
enough in the CPU-hotplug onlining process, which results in lockdep
splats as follows:
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
-----------------------------
kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3497 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
other info that might help us debug this:
RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by swapper/1/0.
Call Trace:
show_stack+0x158/0x1f0
dump_stack+0x1f2/0x238
__lock_acquire+0x2640/0x4dd0
lock_acquire+0x3a8/0xd08

init_cpu_timer+0x33e/0x468
smp_init_secondary+0x11a/0x328
smp_start_secondary+0x82/0x88
This is avoided by moving the call to rcu_cpu_starting up near the
beginning of the smp_init_secondary() function. Note that the
raw_smp_processor_id() is required in order to avoid calling into
lockdep before RCU has declared the CPU to be watched for readers.
