The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed lock ordering issues all over the place. The jump_label code has two issues: 1) Nested get_online_cpus() invocations 2) Ordering problems vs. the cpus rwsem and the jump_label_mutex To cure these, the following lock order has been established; cpus_rwsem -> jump_label_lock -> text_mutex Even if not all architectures need protection against CPU hotplug, taking cpus_rwsem before jump_label_lock is now mandatory in code pathes which actually modify code and therefor need text_mutex protection. Move the get_online_cpus() invocations into the core jump label code and establish the proper lock order where required.

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.
