[PATCH 1/1] x86: add a new SMP bring up way for tboot case

From: Qiaowei Ren
Date: Mon Oct 08 2012 - 11:44:24 EST


tboot provides a better AP wakeup mechanism based on cpu MWAIT feature for
OS/VMM. With this mechanism, system will boot faster and will NOT require
VT to be enabled. But it requires that OS/VMM must have support it, otherwise
system can never boot up.

Once this mechanism is enabled, tboot will put APs waiting in MWAIT loops
before launching kernel. kernel can check the new flag field in v6 tboot
shared page for the hint. If the bit TB_FLAG_AP_WAKE_SUPPORT in flag field
is set, kernel BSP has to write the monitored memory (tboot->ap_wake_trigger)
to bring APs out of MWAIT loops. The sipi vector should be written in
tboot->ap_wake_addr before waking up APs.
