From 787256ec9b443f2a77d9ee06a8385f1bd1aedada Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Liam R. Howlett" Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2023 13:44:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup commit cff9b2332ab762b7e0586c793c431a8f2ea4db04 upstream. Initial booting is setting the task flag to idle (PF_IDLE) by the call path sched_init() -> init_idle(). Having the task idle and calling call_rcu() in kernel/rcu/tiny.c means that TIF_NEED_RESCHED will be set. Subsequent calls to any cond_resched() will enable IRQs, potentially earlier than the IRQ setup has completed. Recent changes have caused just this scenario and IRQs have been enabled early. This causes a warning later in start_kernel() as interrupts are enabled before they are fully set up. Fix this issue by setting the PF_IDLE flag later in the boot sequence. Although the boot task was marked as idle since (at least) d80e4fda576d, I am not sure that it is wrong to do so. The forced context-switch on idle task was introduced in the tiny_rcu update, so I'm going to claim this fixes 5f6130fa52ee.
