[PATCH] mips/smp: Call rcu_cpu_starting() earlier

From: Stefan Wiehler
Date: Fri Jan 19 2024 - 11:42:04 EST


rcu_cpu_starting() must be called before clockevents_register_device() to avoid
the following lockdep splat triggered by calling list_add() when
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y:

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
...
-----------------------------
kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3680 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:
[<ffffffff8012a434>] show_stack+0x64/0x158
[<ffffffff80a93d98>] dump_stack_lvl+0x90/0xc4

[<ffffffff801339d0>] start_secondary+0x50/0x3b8

raw_smp_processor_id() is required in order to avoid calling into lockdep
before RCU has declared the CPU to be watched for readers.
