sched: Fix init NOHZ_IDLE flag On my SMP platform which is made of 5 cores in 2 clusters, I have the nr_busy_cpu field of sched_group_power struct that is not null when the platform is fully idle - which makes the scheduler unhappy. The root cause is: During the boot sequence, some CPUs reach the idle loop and set their NOHZ_IDLE flag while waiting for others CPUs to boot. But the nr_busy_cpus field is initialized later with the assumption that all CPUs are in the busy state whereas some CPUs have already set their NOHZ_IDLE flag. More generally, the NOHZ_IDLE flag must be initialized when new sched_domains are created in order to ensure that NOHZ_IDLE and nr_busy_cpus are aligned. This condition can be ensured by adding a synchronize_rcu() between the destruction of old sched_domains and the creation of new ones so the NOHZ_IDLE flag will not be updated with old sched_domain once it has been initialized. But this solution introduces a additionnal latency in the rebuild sequence that is called during cpu hotplug. As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker, another solution is to have the same rcu lifecycle for both NOHZ_IDLE and sched_domain struct. A new nohz_idle field is added to sched_domain so both status and sched_domain will share the same RCU lifecycle and will be always synchronized. In addition, there is no more need to protect nohz_idle against concurrent access as it is only modified by 2 exclusive functions called by local cpu. This solution has been prefered to the creation of a new struct with an extra pointer indirection for sched_domain. The synchronization is done at the cost of : - An additional indirection and a rcu_dereference for accessing nohz_idle. - We use only the nohz_idle field of the top sched_domain.
