Documentation/timers/no_hz.rst states that the "nohz_full=" mask must not include the boot CPU, which is no longer true after:08ae95f4fd("nohz_full: Allow the boot CPU to be nohz_full"). However after:aae17ebb53("workqueue: Avoid using isolated cpus' timers on queue_delayed_work") the kernel will crash at boot time in this case; housekeeping_any_cpu() returns an invalid CPU number until smp_init() brings the first housekeeping CPU up. Change housekeeping_any_cpu() to check the result of cpumask_any_and() and return smp_processor_id() in this case. This is just the simple and backportable workaround which fixes the symptom, but smp_processor_id() at boot time should be safe at least for type == HK_TYPE_TIMER, this more or less matches the tick_do_timer_boot_cpu logic. There is no worry about cpu_down(); tick_nohz_cpu_down() will not allow to offline tick_do_timer_cpu (the 1st online housekeeping CPU).

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
