clockevents: Fix cpu_down() race for hrtimer based broadcasting
It was found when doing a hotplug stress test on POWER, that the
machine either hit softlockups or rcu_sched stall warnings. The
issue was traced to commit:
7cba160ad789 ("powernv/cpuidle: Redesign idle states management")
which exposed the cpu_down() race with hrtimer based broadcast mode:
5d1638acb9f6 ("tick: Introduce hrtimer based broadcast")
The race is the following:
Assume CPU1 is the CPU which holds the hrtimer broadcasting duty
before it is taken down.
CPU0 CPU1
cpu_down() take_cpu_down()
disable_interrupts()
cpu_die()
while (CPU1 != CPU_DEAD) {
msleep(100);
switch_to_idle();
stop_cpu_timer();
schedule_broadcast();
}
tick_cleanup_cpu_dead()
take_over_broadcast()
So after CPU1 disabled interrupts it cannot handle the broadcast
hrtimer anymore, so CPU0 will be stuck forever.
Fix this by explicitly taking over broadcast duty before cpu_die().
This is a temporary workaround. What we really want is a callback
in the clockevent device which allows us to do that from the dying
CPU by pushing the hrtimer onto a different cpu. That might involve
an IPI and is definitely more complex than this immediate fix.
