x86: Enter rcu extended qs after idle notifier call
The idle notifier, called by enter_idle(), enters into rcu read side critical section but at that time we already switched into the RCU-idle window (rcu_idle_enter() has been called). And it's illegal to use rcu_read_lock() in that state. This results in rcu reporting its bad mood: [ 1.275635] WARNING: at include/linux/rcupdate.h:194 __atomic_notifier_call_chain+0xd2/0x110() [ 1.275635] Hardware name: AMD690VM-FMH [ 1.275635] Modules linked in: [ 1.275635] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.0-rc6+ #252 [ 1.275635] Call Trace: [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff81051c8a>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7a/0xb0 [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff81051cd5>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x20 [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff817d6f22>] __atomic_notifier_call_chain+0xd2/0x110 [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff817d6f71>] atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x11/0x20 [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff810018a0>] enter_idle+0x20/0x30 [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff81001995>] cpu_idle+0xa5/0x110 [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff817a7465>] rest_init+0xe5/0x140 [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff817a73c8>] ? rest_init+0x48/0x140 [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff81cc5ca3>] start_kernel+0x3d1/0x3dc [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff81cc5321>] x86_64_start_reservations+0x131/0x135 [ 1.275635] [<ffffffff81cc5412>] x86_64_start_kernel+0xed/0xf4 [ 1.275635] ---[ end trace a22d306b065d4a66 ]--- Fix this by entering rcu extended quiescent state later, just before the CPU goes to sleep.
