Subject: [PATCH v7 16/22] sched: Defer wakeup in ttwu() for unschedulable frozen tasks

From: Will Deacon <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 25 May 2021 16:14:26 +0100

Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support
across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by
some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do
not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters.

Although we take care to prevent explicit hot-unplug of all 32-bit
capable CPUs on such a system, this is required when suspending on some
SoCs where the firmware mandates that the suspend/resume operation is
handled by CPU 0, which may not be capable of running 32-bit tasks.

Consequently, there is a window on the resume path where no 32-bit
capable CPUs are available for scheduling and waking up a 32-bit task
will result in a scheduler BUG() due to failure of select_fallback_rq():

  | Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

  | Call trace:
  |  select_fallback_rq+0x4b0/0x4e4

  |  __wake_up+0x78/0xc4
  |  ep_poll_callback+0x20c/0x3fc

Prevent wakeups of unschedulable frozen tasks in ttwu() and instead
defer the wakeup to __thaw_tasks(), which runs only once all the
secondary CPUs are back online.
