[patch 01/18] init: Pin init task to boot cpu initially
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sun May 14 2017 - 14:40:57 EST
Some of the boot code in init_kernel_freeable() which runs before SMP
bringup assumes (rightfully) that it runs on the boot cpu and therefor can
use smp_processor_id() in preemptible context.
That works so far because the smp_processor_id() check starts to be
effective after smp bringup. That's just wrong. Starting with SMP bringup
and the ability to move threads around, smp_processor_id() in preemptible
context is broken.
Aside of that it does not make sense to allow init to run on all cpus
before sched_smp_init() has been run.
Pin the init to the boot cpu so the existing code can continue to use
smp_processor_id() without triggering the checks when the enabling of those
checks starts earlier.
