If x2apic was enabled during boot with parallel startup
it will be needed during resume from suspend to ram as well.

Store whether to enable into the smpboot_control global variable
and during startup re-enable it if necessary.

Yeah, so instead of adding further kludges to the 'parallel bringup is
possible' code path, which is arguably a functional feature that shouldn't
have hardware-management coupled to it, would it be possible to fix
parallel bringup to AMD-SEV systems, so that this code path isn't a
quirk-dependent "parallel boot" codepath, but simply the "x86 SMP boot
codepath", where all SMP x86 systems do a parallel bootup?

The original commit by Thomas says:

   0c7ffa32dbd6 ("x86/smpboot/64: Implement arch_cpuhp_init_parallel_bringup() and enable it")

   | Unfortunately there is no RDMSR GHCB protocol at the moment, so enabling
   | AMD-SEV guests for parallel startup needs some more thought.

But that was half a year ago, isn't there RDMSR GHCB access code available now?

That support requires an update to the GHCB specification to add RDMSR/WRMSR access to the GHCB MSR protocol, which hasn't been written, yet. The support would have to be present in both the hypervisor and the guest.

Thanks,
Tom


This code would all read a lot more natural if it was the regular x86 SMP
bootup path - which it is 'almost' today already, modulo quirk.

Obviously coupling functional features with hardware quirks is fragile, for
example your patch extending x86 SMP parallel bringup doesn't extend the
AMD-SEV case, which may or may not matter in practice.

So, if it's possible, it would be nice to fix AMD-SEV systems as well and
remove this artificial coupling.

It probably isn't clear since I didn't mention it in the commit message, but this is not a system that supports AMD-SEV.  This is a workstation that supports x2apic.  I'll clarify that for V2.

I've looped Tom in to comment whether it's possible to improve AMD-SEV as well.


Also, side note #1: curly braces should be balanced.

Sure, thanks for the feedback.  I'll adjust the style for v2.
