[ Upstream commit 9c9b26b0df270d4f9246e483a44686fca951a29c ]
The csdlock_debug kernel-boot parameter is parsed by the
early_param() function csdlock_debug(). If set, csdlock_debug()
invokes static_branch_enable() to enable csd_lock_wait feature, which
triggers a panic on arm64 for kernels built with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n.
With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n, __nr_to_section is called in
static_key_enable() and returns NULL, resulting in a NULL dereference
because mem_section is initialized only later in sparse_init().
This is also a problem for powerpc because early_param() functions
are invoked earlier than jump_label_init(), also resulting in
static_key_enable() failures. These failures cause the warning "static
key 'xxx' used before call to jump_label_init()".
Thus, early_param is too early for csd_lock_wait to run
static_branch_enable(), so changes it to __setup to fix these.

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.
