[ Upstream commit 3940f5349b476197fb079c5aa19c9a988de64efb ]
There's a lockdep false positive warning related to i8253_lock:
WARNING: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ... systemd-sleep/3324 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire: ffffffffb2c23398 (i8253_lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: pcspkr_event+0x3f/0xe0 [pcspkr]
... ... which became HARDIRQ-irq-unsafe at: ... lock_acquire+0xd0/0x2f0 _raw_spin_lock+0x30/0x40 clockevent_i8253_disable+0x1c/0x60 pit_timer_init+0x25/0x50 hpet_time_init+0x46/0x50 x86_late_time_init+0x1b/0x40 start_kernel+0x962/0xa00 x86_64_start_reservations+0x24/0x30 x86_64_start_kernel+0xed/0xf0 common_startup_64+0x13e/0x141 ...
Lockdep complains due pit_timer_init() using the lock in an IRQ-unsafe fashion, but it's a false positive, because there is no deadlock possible at that point due to init ordering: at the point where pit_timer_init() is called there is no other possible usage of i8253_lock because the system is still in the very early boot stage with no interrupts.
But in any case, pit_timer_init() should disable interrupts before calling clockevent_i8253_disable() out of general principle, and to keep lockdep working even in this scenario.
Use scoped_guard() for that, as suggested by Thomas Gleixner.
