[PATCH v9 6/8] x86/smpboot: Support parallel startup of secondary CPUs
From: Usama Arif
Date: Wed Feb 15 2023 - 09:55:26 EST
From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Rework the real-mode startup code to allow for APs to be brought up in
parallel. This is in two parts:
1. Introduce a bit-spinlock to prevent them from all using the real
mode stack at the same time.
2. Avoid the use of global variables for passing per-CPU information to
the APs.
To achieve the latter, export the cpuid_to_apicid[] array so that each
AP can find its own per_cpu data (and thus initial_gs, initial_stack and
early_gdt_descr) by searching therein based on its APIC ID.
Introduce a global variable 'smpboot_control' indicating to the AP how
it should find its APIC ID. For a serialized bringup, the APIC ID is
explicitly passed in the low bits of smpboot_control, while for parallel
mode there are flags directing the AP to find its APIC ID in CPUID leaf
0x0b (for X2APIC mode) or CPUID leaf 0x01 where 8 bits are sufficient.
Parallel startup may be disabled by a command line option, and also if:
• AMD SEV-ES is in use, since the AP may not use CPUID that early.
• X2APIC is enabled, but CPUID leaf 0xb is not present and correect.
• X2APIC is not enabled but not even CPUID leaf 0x01 exists.
Aside from the fact that APs will now look up their per-cpu data via the
newly-exported cpuid_to_apicid[] table, there is no behavioural change
intended yet, since new parallel CPUHP states have not — yet — been added.
