[patch V2 01/17] init: Pin init task to boot cpu initially

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue May 16 2017 - 14:52:45 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.
