- Stop testing the group->parent pointer as it is not guaranteed to be
stable over a chain of operations by design. This includes a warning
which would be nice to have but it produces false positives due to
the racy nature of the check.
- Plug a race between CPUs going in and out of idle and a CPU hotplug
operation. The latter can create and connect a new hierarchy level
which is missed in the concurrent updates of CPUs which go into idle.
As a result the events of such a CPU might not be processed and
timers go stale.
Cure it by splitting the hotplug operation into a prepare and online
callback. The prepare callback is guaranteed to run on an online and
therefore active CPU. This CPU updates the hierarchy and being online
ensures that there is always at least one migrator active which
handles the modified hierarchy correctly when going idle. The online
callback which runs on the incoming CPU then just marks the CPU
active and brings it into operation.
- Improve tracing and polish the code further so it is more obvious
what's going on.
