Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown below: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently with CPU hotplug operations). Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback registration is: cpu_notifier_register_begin(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_notifier_register_done(); Fix the oprofile code in x86 by using this latter form of callback registration. But retain the calls to get/put_online_cpus(), since they are used in other places as well, to protect the variables 'nmi_enabled' and 'ctr_running'. Strictly speaking, this is not necessary since cpu_notifier_register_begin/done() provide a stronger synchronization with CPU hotplug than get/put_online_cpus(). However, let's retain the calls to get/put_online_cpus() to be consistent with the other call-sites. By nesting get/put_online_cpus() *inside* cpu_notifier_register_begin/done(), we avoid the ABBA deadlock possibility mentioned above.
