[PATCH v4 6/9] x86/smpboot: Support parallel startup of secondary CPUs

From: David Woodhouse
Date: Tue Feb 01 2022 - 15:54:09 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To allow for parallel AP bringup, we need to avoid the use of global
variables for passing information to the APs, as well as preventing them
from all trying to use the same real-mode stack simultaneously.

So, introduce a 'lock' field in struct trampoline_header to use as a
simple bit-spinlock for the real-mode stack. That lock also protects
the global variables initial_gs, initial_stack and early_gdt_descr,
which can now be calculated...

So how do we calculate those addresses? Well, they they can all be found
from the per_cpu data for this CPU. Simples! Except... how does it know
what its CPU# is? OK, we export the cpuid_to_apicid[] array and it can
search it to find its APIC ID in there.

But now you whine at me that it doesn't even know its APIC ID? Well, if
it's a relatively modern CPU then the APIC ID is in CPUID leaf 0x0B so
we can use that. Otherwise... erm... OK, otherwise it can't have parallel
CPU bringup for now. We'll still use a global variable for those CPUs and
bring them up one at a time.

So add a global 'smpboot_control' field which either contains the APIC
ID, or a flag indicating that it can be found in CPUID.

This adds the 'do_parallel_bringup' flag in preparation but doesn't
actually enable parallel bringup yet.
