Thomas Gleixner 6d11b87d55 powerpc/smp: Replace open coded task affinity logic
Init task invokes smp_ops->setup_cpu() from smp_cpus_done(). Init task can
run on any online CPU at this point, but the setup_cpu() callback requires
to be invoked on the boot CPU. This is achieved by temporarily setting the
affinity of the calling user space thread to the requested CPU and reset it
to the original affinity afterwards.

That's racy vs. CPU hotplug and concurrent affinity settings for that
thread resulting in code executing on the wrong CPU and overwriting the
new affinity setting.

That's actually not a problem in this context as neither CPU hotplug nor
affinity settings can happen, but the access to task_struct::cpus_allowed
is about to restricted.

Replace it with a call to work_on_cpu_safe() which achieves the same result.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
