[PATCH v9 0/8] Parallel CPU bringup for x86_64

[Usama Arif]

The main change over v8 is dropping the patch to avoid repeated saves of MTRR
at boot time. It didn't make a difference to smpboot time and is independent
of parallel CPU bringup, so if needed can be explored in a separate patchset.

The patches have also been rebased to v6.2-rc8 and retested and the
improvement in boot time is the same as v8.

Thanks,
Usama

Changes across versions:
v2: Cut it back to just INIT/SIPI/SIPI in parallel for now, nothing more
v3: Clean up x2apic patch, add MTRR optimisation, lock topology update
    in preparation for more parallelisation.
v4: Fixes to the real mode parallelisation patch spotted by SeanC, to
    avoid scribbling on initial_gs in common_cpu_up(), and to allow all
    24 bits of the physical X2APIC ID to be used. That patch still needs
    a Signed-off-by from its original author, who once claimed not to
    remember writing it at all. But now we've fixed it, hopefully he'll
    admit it now :)
v5: rebase to v6.1 and remeasure performance, disable parallel bringup
    for AMD CPUs.
v6: rebase to v6.2-rc6, disabled parallel boot on amd as a cpu bug and
    reused timer calibration for secondary CPUs.
v7: [David Woodhouse] iterate over all possible CPUs to find any existing
    cluster mask in alloc_clustermask. (patch 1/9)
    Keep parallel AMD support enabled in AMD, using APIC ID in CPUID leaf
    0x0B (for x2APIC mode) or CPUID leaf 0x01 where 8 bits are sufficient.
    Included sanity checks for APIC id from 0x0B. (patch 6/9)
    Removed patch for reusing timer calibration for secondary CPUs.
    commit message and code improvements.
v8: Fix CPU0 hotplug by setting up the initial_gs, initial_stack and
    early_gdt_descr.
    Drop trampoline lock and bail if APIC ID not found in find_cpunr.
    Code comments improved and debug prints added.
v9: Drop patch to avoid repeated saves of MTRR at boot time.
    rebased and retested at v6.2-rc8.
    added kernel doc for no_parallel_bringup and made do_parallel_bringup
    __ro_after_init.

David Woodhouse (8):
  x86/apic/x2apic: Allow CPU cluster_mask to be populated in parallel
  cpu/hotplug: Move idle_thread_get() to <linux/smpboot.h>
  cpu/hotplug: Add dynamic parallel bringup states before
    CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU
  x86/smpboot: Reference count on smpboot_setup_warm_reset_vector()
  x86/smpboot: Split up native_cpu_up into separate phases and document
    them
  x86/smpboot: Support parallel startup of secondary CPUs
  x86/smpboot: Send INIT/SIPI/SIPI to secondary CPUs in parallel
  x86/smpboot: Serialize topology updates for secondary bringup
