[PATCH v13 09/11] x86/smpboot: Support parallel startup of secondary CPUs

From: Usama Arif
Date: Thu Mar 02 2023 - 06:13:49 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 needing to use the global smpboot_control variable to pass
each AP its CPU#.

To achieve the latter, export the cpuid_to_apicid[] array so that each
AP can find its own CPU# by searching therein based on its APIC ID.

Introduce flags in the top bits of smpboot_control which indicate methods
by which an AP should find its CPU#. For a serialized bringup, the CPU#
is explicitly passed in the low bits of smpboot_control as before. 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, then perform the cpuid_to_apicid[] lookup with that.

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 correct.
• X2APIC is not enabled but not even CPUID leaf 0x01 exists.

Aside from the fact that APs will now look up their CPU# 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.
