[RFC PATCH 00/49] cpu/hotplug: Remove cpu_down() global stop_machine() except for CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU itself

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Hi,

As discussed in LPC, cpu_down()'s stop_machine() is a problem for
running real time and nohz_full workloads, for example if we want to
provide a cpuset interface for nohz_full and isolated partitions are
created at the same time as those critical workloads.

Here is a first step to start. stop_machine() gets a new "post" callback
that is executed after the main one such that:

* As before the main fn executes while all the other CPUs spin.
* While other CPUs can exit stop_machine(), the target keeps IRQs
  disabled and execute the post_fn.

All the states between CPUHP_AP_ONLINE and CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE are moved
to the post callback because they can eventually run concurrently with
the other CPUs. I made a dedicated commit for each of them with
individual justification analysis and tweaked a bit CPUHP_AP_TICK_DYING
to adapt it.

There are two states for which I'm not too confident, please double
check CPUHP_AP_CPU_PM_STARTING and CPUHP_AP_ARM_CACHE_B15_RAC_DYING.

In the end only CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU (which is __cpu_disable()) remains in
the global stop machine, this will be the next step. The plan will be to
(all with IRQs disabled)

* Clear the CPU from cpu_online_mask

* Start an RCU grace period and poll on it (while doing momentary eqs in
  the loop), this *should work* with IRQs disabled. So all CPUs observe
  the CPU as offline.

* Check if the rest of x86 __cpu_disable() can be accomodated to run
  without making other CPUs spin.
