From 18415f33e2ac4ab382cbca8b5ff82a9036b5bd49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 12 May 2023 23:07:50 +0200 Subject: cpu/hotplug: Allow "parallel" bringup up to CPUHP_BP_KICK_AP_STATE 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.
