sched/core: Take the hotplug lock in sched_init_smp()
When running on linux-next (8c60c36 ("Add linux-next specific files for 20181019")) + CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y on a big.LITTLE system (e.g. Juno or HiKey960), we get the following report: [ 0.748225] Call trace: [ 0.750685] lockdep_assert_cpus_held+0x30/0x40 [ 0.755236] static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0x20/0xc8 [ 0.760137] build_sched_domains+0x1034/0x1108 [ 0.764601] sched_init_domains+0x68/0x90 [ 0.768628] sched_init_smp+0x30/0x80 [ 0.772309] kernel_init_freeable+0x278/0x51c [ 0.776685] kernel_init+0x10/0x108 [ 0.780190] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 The static_key in question is 'sched_asym_cpucapacity' introduced by commit: df054e8 ("sched/topology: Add static_key for asymmetric CPU capacity optimizations") In this particular case, we enable it because smp_prepare_cpus() will end up fetching the capacity-dmips-mhz entry from the devicetree, so we already have some asymmetry detected when entering sched_init_smp(). This didn't get detected in tip/sched/core because we were missing: commit cb53826 ("jump_label/lockdep: Assert we hold the hotplug lock for _cpuslocked() operations") Calls to build_sched_domains() post sched_init_smp() will hold the hotplug lock, it just so happens that this very first call is a special case. As stated by a comment in sched_init_smp(), "There's no userspace yet to cause hotplug operations" so this is a harmless warning. However, to both respect the semantics of underlying callees and make lockdep happy, take the hotplug lock in sched_init_smp(). This also satisfies the comment atop sched_init_domains() that says "Callers must hold the hotplug lock".
