[ Upstream commit b2f6662ac08d0e7c25574ce53623c71bdae9dd78 ]
Invoking atomic_notifier_chain_notify() requires acquiring a spinlock_t,
which can block under CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Notifications for members of the
cpu_pm notification chain will be issued by the idle task, which can never
block.
Making *all* atomic_notifiers use a raw_spinlock is too big of a hammer, as
only notifications issued by the idle task are problematic.
Special-case cpu_pm_notifier_chain by kludging a raw_notifier and
raw_spinlock_t together, matching the atomic_notifier behavior with a
raw_spinlock_t.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
