[PATCH] x86/aperfmperf: Fix deadlock on cpu_hotplug_lock

From: Jonathan Cameron
Date: Mon Jul 29 2024 - 06:55:19 EST


The broken patch results in a call to init_freq_invariance_cppc() in a CPU
hotplug handler in both the path for initially present CPUs and those
hotplugged later. That function includes a one time call to
amd_set_max_freq_ratio() which in turn calls freq_invariance_enable() that
has a static_branch_enable() which takes the cpu_hotlug_lock which is
already held.

Avoid the deadlock by using static_branch_enable_cpuslocked() as the lock
will always be already held. The equivalent path on Intel does not
already hold this lock, so take it around the call to
freq_invariance_enable(), which results in it being held over the call to
register_syscall_ops, which looks to be safe to do.
