v10 cover x86: Arbitrary CPU hot(un)plug support

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

CPU0 or BSP (Bootstrap Processor) has been the last processor that can not be hot removed on x86. This patchset implements CPU0 or BSP online and offline and removes this obstacle to CPU hotplug.

RAS needs the feature. If socket0 needs to be hotplugged for any reason (any thread on socket0 is bad, shared cache issue, uncore issue, etc), CPU0 is required to be offline or hot replaced to keep the system run. For example, starting with Core Duo, if you have a system that is reporting cache problems via the "yellow" status in the MCi_STATUS msr, then there is benefit in simply soft off-lining the cores that share that cache - assuming that leaves you at least one online core. A single socket system with L3 cache troubles is not helped - but problems in L1/L2 cache, or on multi-socket systems can be avoided. They are already being avoided for the cases where CPU0 is not involved. This patchset can help L1/L2 cache problem in CPU0 or L3 cache problem on the socket with CPU0 in a multi-socket system.

v10: Use first online CPU to handle retriggered irq in ioapic. Correct cpu0_logical_apicid for x2apic. Add wakeup_cpu_via_init_nmi() to make code more readable. Add ENDPROC(start_cpu0). Add comment for pm_notifier priority in cpu_hotplug_pm_callback.

v9: Add Intel vendor check to support the feature on Intel platforms only.

v8: Add smp_store_boot_cpu_info() and change smp_store_cpu_info() back to avoid a compilation error. Fix a few messy subject issues.

v7: Change smp_store_cpu_info() to allow store cpuinfo for CPU0 when online. Change PIC irq detection in native_cpu_disable().

v6: If CPU0 is offlined during boot time in CPU0 hotplug debug mode, put CPU0 online again before resuming from hibernation and disable x2apic and xapic.Don't set __CPUINIT for start_cpu0() in head_32.S. Clean up CPU0 wake up nmi handler after callin and callout sync. In a period (3 seconds), check if CPU0 wake up NMI is handled after offlined CPU0 exits from mwait.

v5: Add CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 and CONFIG_DEBUG_HOTPLUG_CPU0. Simplify duplicate xstate_size init check. Wakeup CPU0 via nmi instead INITs. Add mcheck_cpu_init when CPU0 online. Change variable bsp_hotpluggable to cpu0_hotpluggable with __initdata qualifier.

v4: Add __read_mostly for internal bsp_hotpluggable variable. Add my email address in cpu-hotplug.txt document. A wording change in comment.

v3: Register a pm notifier to check if CPU0 is online before hibernate/suspend. Small wording changes in document and print info.

v2: Add locking changes between cpu hotplug and hibernate/suspend. Change PIC irq bound to CPU0 detection.

PATCH v10 1/14 doc: Add x86 CPU0 online/offline feature

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

If CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is turned on, CPU0 is hotpluggable. Otherwise, by default CPU0 is not hotpluggable and kernel parameter cpu0_hotplug enables CPU0 online/offline feature.

The documentations point out two known CPU0 dependencies. First, resume from hibernate or suspend always starts from CPU0. So hibernate and suspend are prevented if CPU0 is offline. Another dependency is PIC interrupts always go to CPU0.

It's said that some machines may depend on CPU0 to poweroff/reboot. But I haven't seen such dependency on a few tested machines.

Please let me know if you see any CPU0 dependencies on your machine.

PATCH v10 2/14 x86, Kconfig: Add config switch for CPU0 hotplug

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

New config switch CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 sets default state of whether the CPU0 hotplug is on or off.

If the switch is off, CPU0 is not hotpluggable by default. But the CPU0 hotplug feature can still be turned on by kernel parameter cpu0_hotplug at boot.

If the switch is on, CPU0 is always hotpluggable.

The default value of the switch is off.

PATCH v10 4/14 x86, hotplug: Support functions for CPU0 online/offline

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

Add smp_store_boot_cpu_info() to store cpu info for BSP during boot time.

Now smp_store_cpu_info() stores cpu info for bringing up BSP or AP after it's offline.

Continue to online CPU0 in native_cpu_up().

Continue to offline CPU0 in native_cpu_disable().

x86, hotplug: Support functions for CPU0 online/offline

Add smp_store_boot_cpu_info() to store cpu info for BSP during boot time.

Now smp_store_cpu_info() stores cpu info for bringing up BSP or AP after it's offline.

Continue to online CPU0 in native_cpu_up().

Continue to offline CPU0 in native_cpu_disable().

PATCH v10 5/14 x86, hotplug, suspend: Online CPU0 for suspend or hibernate

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

Because x86 BIOS requires CPU0 to resume from sleep, suspend or hibernate can't be executed if CPU0 is detected offline. To make suspend or hibernate and further resume succeed, CPU0 must be online.

PATCH v10 6/14 kernel/cpu.c: Add comment for priority in cpu_hotplug_pm_callback

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

cpu_hotplug_pm_callback should have higher priority than bsp_pm_callback which depends on cpu_hotplug_pm_callback to disable cpu hotplug to avoid race during bsp online checking.

This is to hightlight the priorities between the two callbacks in case people may overlook the order.

Ideally the priorities should be defined in macro/enum instead of fixed values. To do that, a seperate patchset may be pushed which will touch serveral other generic files and is out of scope of this patchset.

PATCH v10 9/14 x86, hotplug: Wake up CPU0 via NMI instead of INIT, SIPI, SIPI

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

Instead of waiting for STARTUP after INITs, BSP will execute the BIOS boot-strap code which is not a desired behavior for waking up BSP. To avoid the boot-strap code, wake up CPU0 by NMI instead.

This works to wake up soft offlined CPU0 only. If CPU0 is hard offlined (i.e. physically hot removed and then hot added), NMI won't wake it up. We'll change this code in the future to wake up hard offlined CPU0 if real platform and request are available.

AP is still waken up as before by INIT, SIPI, SIPI sequence.

PATCH v10 10/14 x86, hotplug: During CPU0 online, enable x2apic, set_numa_node.

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

Previously these functions were not run on the BSP (CPU 0, the boot processor) since the boot processor init would only be executed before this functionality was initialized.

The first cpu in irq cfg->domain is likely to be CPU 0 and may not be available when CPU 0 is offline. Instead of using CPU 0 to handle retriggered irq, we use first available CPU which is online and in this irq's domain.

PATCH v10 14/14 x86, topology: Debug CPU00 hotplug

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

CONFIG_DEBUG_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is for debugging the CPU0 hotplug feature. The switch offlines CPU0 as soon as possible and boots userspace up with CPU0 offlined. User can online CPU0 back after boot time. The default value of the switch is off.

To debug CPU0 hotplug, you need to enable CPU0 offline/online feature by either turning on CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 during compilation or giving cpu0_hotplug kernel parameter at boot.

It's safe and early place to take down CPU0 after all hotplug notifiers are installed and SMP is booted.

Please note that some applications or drivers, e.g. some versions of udevd, during boot time may put CPU0 online again in this CPU0 hotplug debug mode.

In this debug mode, setup_local_APIC() may report a warning on max_loops<=0 when CPU0 is onlined back after boot time. This is because pending interrupt in IRR can not move to ISR. The warning is not CPU0 specfic and it can happen on other CPUs as well. It is harmless except the first CPU0 online takes a bit longer time. And so this debug mode is useful to expose this issue. I'll send a seperate patch to fix this generic warning issue.

x86, topology: Debug CPU0 hotplug

CONFIG_DEBUG_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is for debugging the CPU0 hotplug feature. The switch offlines CPU0 as soon as possible and boots userspace up with CPU0 offlined. User can online CPU0 back after boot time. The default value of the switch is off.

To debug CPU0 hotplug, you need to enable CPU0 offline/online feature by either turning on CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 during compilation or giving cpu0_hotplug kernel parameter at boot.

It's safe and early place to take down CPU0 after all hotplug notifiers are installed and SMP is booted.

Please note that some applications or drivers, e.g. some versions of udevd, during boot time may put CPU0 online again in this CPU0 hotplug debug mode.

In this debug mode, setup_local_APIC() may report a warning on max_loops<=0 when CPU0 is onlined back after boot time. This is because pending interrupt in IRR can not move to ISR. The warning is not CPU0 specfic and it can happen on other CPUs as well. It is harmless except the first CPU0 online takes a bit longer time. And so this debug mode is useful to expose this issue. I'll send a seperate patch to fix this generic warning issue.
