powerpc: Secondary CPUs must set cpu_callin_map after setting active and online
I have a busy ppc64le KVM box where guests sometimes hit the infamous
"kernel BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:134!" issue during boot:
BUG_ON(td->cpu != smp_processor_id());
Basically a per CPU hotplug thread scheduled on the wrong CPU. The oops
output confirms it:
CPU: 0
Comm: watchdog/130
The problem is that we aren't ensuring the CPU active and online bits are set
before allowing the master to continue on. The master unparks the secondary
CPUs kthreads and the scheduler looks for a CPU to run on. It calls
select_task_rq and realises the suggested CPU is not in the cpus_allowed
mask. It then ends up in select_fallback_rq, and since the active and
online bits aren't set we choose some other CPU to run on.
