[PATCH] init: refactor the generic cpu_to_node for NUMA

From: Huang Shijie
Date: Wed Jan 17 2024 - 22:16:07 EST


(0) We list the ARCHs which support the NUMA:
arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv,
sparc, mips, s390, x86,

(1) Some ARCHs in (0) override the generic cpu_to_node(), such as:
sparc, mips, s390, x86.

Since these ARCHs have their own cpu_to_node(), we do not care
about them.

(2) The ARCHs enable NUMA and use the generic cpu_to_node.
From (0) and (1), we can know that four ARCHs support NUMA and
use the generic cpu_to_node:
arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv,

The generic cpu_to_node depends on percpu "numa_node".

(2.1) The loongarch sets "numa_node" in:
start_kernel --> smp_prepare_boot_cpu()

(2.2) The arm64, powerpc, riscv set "numa_node" in:
start_kernel --> arch_call_rest_init() --> rest_init()
--> kernel_init() --> kernel_init_freeable()
--> smp_prepare_cpus()

(2.3) The first place calling the cpu_to_node() is early_trace_init():
start_kernel --> early_trace_init()--> __ring_buffer_alloc()
--> rb_allocate_cpu_buffer()

(2.4) So it safe for loongarch. But for arm64, powerpc and riscv,
there are at least four places in the common code where
the cpu_to_node() is called before it is initialized:
a.) early_trace_init() in kernel/trace/trace.c
b.) sched_init() in kernel/sched/core.c
c.) init_sched_fair_class() in kernel/sched/fair.c
d.) workqueue_init_early() in kernel/workqueue.c

(3) In order to fix the issue, the patch refactors the generic cpu_to_node:
(3.1) change cpu_to_node to function pointer,
and export it for kernel modules.

(3.2) introduce _cpu_to_node() which is the original cpu_to_node().

(3.3) introduce smp_prepare_boot_cpu_start() to wrap the original
smp_prepare_boot_cpu(), and set cpu_to_node with
early_cpu_to_node which works fine for arm64, powerpc,
riscv and loongarch.

(3.4) introduce smp_prepare_cpus_done() to wrap the original
smp_prepare_cpus().
The "numa_node" is ready after smp_prepare_cpus(),
then set cpu_to_node with _cpu_to_node().
