For PREEMPT_RT kernel, spinlock_t locks become sleepable. The functions etm_dying_cpu and etm_starting_cpu which call spin_lock/unlock run in an irq-disabled context, this will trigger the following calltrace:

wait, why will a raw_spinlock fix this? Why not fix the root problem here, that of calling these locks inproperly in irq context?
How is changing to a raw_spinlock going to fix the above splat?

If it's just etm_starting_cpu() and etm_dying_cpu() as mentioned in the commit message then can those spinlocks be removed?
Surely there can't be any concurrent access to the per-cpu data when the hotplug callbacks are called?
