Pull SMP updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A large update for SMP management:

   - Parallel CPU bringup

     The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to
     shorten the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the
     downtime of the VM tenants.

     The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:

       1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads)
       2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86)
       3) Wait for the AP to report alive state
       4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup
       5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state

     There are two significant delays:

       #3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary()
          on x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms
          depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.

       #4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been
          measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending
          on the microcode patch size to apply.

     On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU
     spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to
     come up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual
     onlining procedure.

     This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup
     mechanism into two parts:

       1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP
          which needs to be brought up.

          The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the
          low level kernel startup code including microcode loading in
          parallel up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2
          above)

       2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU
          (#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.

          Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible
          in theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery
          would be justified for a pretty small gain.

     If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at
     the first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the
     wake-up of the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that
     SKL from ~800ms to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.

     The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU,
     microcode patch size and other factors. There are some
     opportunities to reduce the overhead further, but that needs some
     deep surgery in the x86 CPU bringup code.

     For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality
     obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.

   - Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to
     locate the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows
     to measure IPI delivery time precisely"

2c6ba4216844 ("PCI: hv: Enable PCI pass-thru devices in Confidential VMs")

update the Hyper-V virtual PCI driver to use the hyperv_pcpu_input_arg
because that memory will be correctly marked as decrypted or encrypted
for all VM types (CoCo or normal). But problems ensue when CPUs in the
VM go online or offline after virtual PCI devices have been configured.

When a CPU is brought online, the hyperv_pcpu_input_arg for that CPU is
initialized by hv_cpu_init() running under state CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN.
But this state occurs after state CPUHP_AP_IRQ_AFFINITY_ONLINE, which
may call the virtual PCI driver and fault trying to use the as yet
uninitialized hyperv_pcpu_input_arg. A similar problem occurs in a CoCo
VM if the MMIO read and write hypercalls are used from state
CPUHP_AP_IRQ_AFFINITY_ONLINE.

When a CPU is taken offline, IRQs may be reassigned in state
CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU. Again, the virtual PCI driver may fault trying to
use the hyperv_pcpu_input_arg that has already been freed by a
higher state.

Fix the onlining problem by adding state CPUHP_AP_HYPERV_ONLINE
immediately after CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE (similar to CPUHP_AP_KVM_ONLINE)
and before CPUHP_AP_IRQ_AFFINITY_ONLINE. Use this new state for
Hyper-V initialization so that hyperv_pcpu_input_arg is allocated
early enough.

Fix the offlining problem by not freeing hyperv_pcpu_input_arg when
a CPU goes offline. Retain the allocated memory, and reuse it if
the CPU comes back online later.

<title>cpu/hotplug: Allow "parallel" bringup up to CPUHP_BP_KICK_AP_STATE</title>

There is often significant latency in the early stages of CPU bringup, and
time is wasted by waking each CPU (e.g. with SIPI/INIT/INIT on x86) and
then waiting for it to respond before moving on to the next.

Allow a platform to enable parallel setup which brings all to be onlined
CPUs up to the CPUHP_BP_KICK_AP state. While this state advancement on the
control CPU (BP) is single-threaded the important part is the last state
CPUHP_BP_KICK_AP which wakes the to be onlined CPUs up.

This allows the CPUs to run up to the first sychronization point
cpuhp_ap_sync_alive() where they wait for the control CPU to release them
one by one for the full onlining procedure.

This parallelism depends on the CPU hotplug core sync mechanism which
ensures that the parallel brought up CPUs wait for release before touching
any state which would make the CPU visible to anything outside the hotplug
control mechanism.

To handle the SMT constraints of X86 correctly the bringup happens in two
iterations when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT is enabled. The control CPU brings up
the primary SMT threads of each core first, which can load the microcode
without the need to rendevouz with the thread siblings. Once that's
completed it brings up the secondary SMT threads.

<title>cpu/hotplug: Provide a split up CPUHP_BRINGUP mechanism</title>

<id>a631be92b996c5db9b368e8b96305d22fb8c4180</id>
<content type='text'>
The bring up logic of a to be onlined CPU consists of several parts, which
are considered to be a single hotplug state:

  1) Control CPU issues the wake-up

  2) To be onlined CPU starts up, does the minimal initialization,
     reports to be alive and waits for release into the complete bring-up.

  3) Control CPU waits for the alive report and releases the upcoming CPU
     for the complete bring-up.

Allow to split this into two states:

  1) Control CPU issues the wake-up

     After that the to be onlined CPU starts up, does the minimal
     initialization, reports to be alive and waits for release into the
     full bring-up. As this can run after the control CPU dropped the
     hotplug locks the code which is executed on the AP before it reports
     alive has to be carefully audited to not violate any of the hotplug
     constraints, especially not modifying any of the various cpumasks.

     This is really only meant to avoid waiting for the AP to react on the
     wake-up. Of course an architecture can move strict CPU related setup
     functionality, e.g. microcode loading, with care before the
     synchronization point to save further pointless waiting time.

  2) Control CPU waits for the alive report and releases the upcoming CPU
     for the complete bring-up.

This allows that the two states can be split up to run all to be onlined
CPUs up to state #1 on the control CPU and then at a later point run state
#2. This spares some of the latencies of the full serialized per CPU
bringup by avoiding the per CPU wakeup/wait serialization. The assumption
is that the first AP already waits when the last AP has been woken up. This
obvioulsy depends on the hardware latencies and depending on the timings
this might still not completely eliminate all wait scenarios.

This split is just a preparatory step for enabling the parallel bringup
later. The boot time bringup is still fully serialized. It has a separate
config switch so that architectures which want to support parallel bringup
can test the split of the CPUHP_BRINGUG step separately.

To enable this the architecture must support the CPU hotplug core sync
mechanism and has to be audited that there are no implicit hotplug state
dependencies which require a fully serialized bringup.

The bring up logic of a to be onlined CPU consists of several parts, which
are considered to be a single hotplug state:

  1) Control CPU issues the wake-up

  2) To be onlined CPU starts up, does the minimal initialization,
     reports to be alive and waits for release into the complete bring-up.

  3) Control CPU waits for the alive report and releases the upcoming CPU
     for the complete bring-up.

Allow to split this into two states:

  1) Control CPU issues the wake-up

     After that the to be onlined CPU starts up, does the minimal
     initialization, reports to be alive and waits for release into the
     full bring-up. As this can run after the control CPU dropped the
     hotplug locks the code which is executed on the AP before it reports
     alive has to be carefully audited to not violate any of the hotplug
     constraints, especially not modifying any of the various cpumasks.

     This is really only meant to avoid waiting for the AP to react on the
     wake-up. Of course an architecture can move strict CPU related setup
     functionality, e.g. microcode loading, with care before the
     synchronization point to save further pointless waiting time.

  2) Control CPU waits for the alive report and releases the upcoming CPU
     for the complete bring-up.

This allows that the two states can be split up to run all to be onlined
CPUs up to state #1 on the control CPU and then at a later point run state
#2. This spares some of the latencies of the full serialized per CPU
bringup by avoiding the per CPU wakeup/wait serialization. The assumption
is that the first AP already waits when the last AP has been woken up. This
obvioulsy depends on the hardware latencies and depending on the timings
this might still not completely eliminate all wait scenarios.

This split is just a preparatory step for enabling the parallel bringup
later. The boot time bringup is still fully serialized. It has a separate
config switch so that architectures which want to support parallel bringup
can test the split of the CPUHP_BRINGUG step separately.

To enable this the architecture must support the CPU hotplug core sync
mechanism and has to be audited that there are no implicit hotplug state
dependencies which require a fully serialized bringup.

<title>cpu/hotplug: Add CPU state tracking and synchronization</title>

<id>6f0621238b7e7680d5e26c00aa4cd473314d05b2</id>
<content type='text'>
The CPU state tracking and synchronization mechanism in smpboot.c is
completely independent of the hotplug code and all logic around it is
implemented in architecture specific code.

Except for the state reporting of the AP there is absolutely nothing
architecture specific and the sychronization and decision functions can be
moved into the generic hotplug core code.

Provide an integrated variant and add the core synchronization and decision
points. This comes in two flavours:

  1) DEAD state synchronization

     Updated by the architecture code once the AP reaches the point where
     it is ready to be torn down by the control CPU, e.g. by removing power
     or clocks or tear down via the hypervisor.

     The control CPU waits for this state to be reached with a timeout. If
     the state is reached an architecture specific cleanup function is
     invoked.

  2) Full state synchronization

     This extends #1 with AP alive synchronization. This is new
     functionality, which allows to replace architecture specific wait
     mechanims, e.g. cpumasks, completely.

     It also prevents that an AP which is in a limbo state can be brought
     up again. This can happen when an AP failed to report dead state
     during a previous off-line operation.

The dead synchronization is what most architectures use. Only x86 makes a
bringup decision based on that state at the moment.

   - Improve register constraints so that the compiler can make use of
     the zero register instead of moving an immediate #0 into a GPR

   - Allow the compiler to allocate the registers used for CAS
     instructions

  CPU features and system registers:

   - Cleanups to the way in which CPU features are identified from the
     ID register fields

   - Extend system register definition generation to handle Enum types

   - Support for "direct calls" in ftrace, which enables BPF tracing for
     arm64

  Kdump:

   - Don't bother unmapping the crashkernel from the linear mapping,
     which then allows us to use huge (block) mappings and reduce TLB
     pressure when a crashkernel is loaded.

  Memory management:

   - Try again to remove data cache invalidation from the coherent DMA
     allocation path

   - Simplify the fixmap code by mapping at page granularity

   - Allow the kfence pool to be allocated early, preventing the rest of
     the linear mapping from being forced to page granularity

  Perf and PMU:

   - Move CPU PMU code out to drivers/perf/ where it can be reused by
     the 32-bit ARM architecture when running on ARMv8 CPUs

   - Add support for Apple M2 CPU PMU

   - Adjust the generic PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS event

   - Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers

  Stack tracing:

   - Use the XPACLRI instruction to strip PAC from pointers, rather than
     rolling our own function in C

   - Remove redundant PAC removal for toolchains that handle this in
     their builtins

   - Make backtracing more resilient in the face of instrumentation

  Miscellaneous:

   - Fix single-step with KGDB

The synchronize_rcu() will be invoked in the perf_pmu_migrate_context(),
when migrating a PMU to a new CPU. However, the current for_each_iommu()
is within RCU read-side critical section.

Two methods were considered to fix the issue.
- Use the dmar_global_lock to replace the RCU read lock when going
  through the drhd list. But it triggers a lockdep warning.
- Use the cpuhp_setup_state_multi() to set up a dedicated state for each
  IOMMU PMU. The lock can be avoided.

The latter method is implemented in this patch. Since each IOMMU PMU has
a dedicated state, add cpuhp_node and cpu in struct iommu_pmu to track
the state. The state can be dynamically allocated now. Remove the
CPUHP_AP_PERF_X86_IOMMU_PERF_ONLINE.

sdei_cpuhp_up() is called in the STARTING hotplug section,
which runs with interrupts disabled. Use a CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN entry
instead to execute the cpuhp cb later, with preemption enabled.

SDEI originally got its own cpuhp slot to allow interacting
with perf. It got superseded by pNMI and this early slot is not
relevant anymore. [1]

Some SDEI calls (e.g. SDEI_1_0_FN_SDEI_PE_MASK) take actions on the
calling CPU. It is checked that preemption is disabled for them.
_ONLINE cpuhp cb are executed in the 'per CPU hotplug thread'.
Preemption is enabled in those threads, but their cpumask is limited
to 1 CPU.
Move 'WARN_ON_ONCE(preemptible())' statements so that SDEI cpuhp cb
don't trigger them.

Also add a check for the SDEI_1_0_FN_SDEI_PRIVATE_RESET SDEI call
which acts on the calling CPU.
