4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Suzuki K Poulose <[email protected]> commit 9113c2aa05e9848cd4f1154abee17d4f265f012d upstream. In smp_prepare_boot_cpu(), we invoke cpuinfo_store_boot_cpu to store the cpuinfo in a per-cpu ptr, before initialising the per-cpu offset for the boot CPU. This patch reorders the sequence to make sure we initialise the per-cpu offset before accessing the per-cpu area. Commit 4b998ff1885eec ("arm64: Delay cpuinfo_store_boot_cpu") fixed the issue where we modified the per-cpu area even before the kernel initialises the per-cpu areas, but failed to wait until the boot cpu updated it's offset.
