[RFC PATCH 15/49] perf/amd/ibs: Move CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_AMD_IBS_STARTING post stop_machine()

From: Frederic Weisbecker

Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 09:16:31 EST


Between CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU and CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE, stop_machine executes
all the teardown callbacks while stopping all CPUs in the system. This
doesn't mix-up well with running RT or isolated tasks.

In order to transition smoothly from global stop_machine to finer
grained synchronization between teardown callbacks and the other CPUs,
a new stop machine post function has been introduced to be executed
after the main one with IRQs still disabled while other CPUs can exit
stop_machine().

Here the callback only restores the IBS interrupt to the normal priority
on the local APIC and running it concurrently against other CPUs
shouldn't expose any kind of race.

Move this teardown callback to post stop_machine() accordingly.
