Sebastian Andrzej Siewior af0fffd930 sched/core: Remove get_cpu() from sched_fork()
get_cpu() disables preemption for the entire sched_fork() function.
This get_cpu() was introduced in commit:

  dd41f596cd ("sched: cfs core code")

... which also invoked sched_balance_self() and this function
required preemption do be off.

Today, sched_balance_self() seems to be moved to ->task_fork callback
which is invoked while the ->pi_lock is held.

set_load_weight() could invoke reweight_task() which then via $callchain
might end up in smp_processor_id() but since `update_load' is false
this won't happen.

I didn't find any this_cpu*() or similar usage during the initialisation
of the task_struct.

The `cpu' value (from get_cpu()) is only used later in __set_task_cpu()
while the ->pi_lock lock is held.

Based on this it is possible to remove get_cpu() and use
smp_processor_id() for the `cpu' variable without breaking anything.

README

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.
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.
