Problem and the cause: Currently we are suffering from *extremely* slow CPU online speed during system resuming from S3. Say, the MacBookPro 2015 has 4 CPUs, and it took more than 1 second each for both CPU1 and CPU3 to be brought back to idle thread again. Further ftrace result showed that, *each* instruction the CPU1 and CPU3 execute will take much longer time than it will take during normal cpu online via sysfs(without S3 involved). And more interesting thing was found that after resumed back, every instruction CPU1 and CPU3 execute is back to its normal speed(unixbench has the same score before/after S3). So it smells like there is something wrong with the cache/tlb settings only during resuming back from S3. Finally we have found this might be related to BIOS who has scribbled the mtrr/pat before it resumed back to the OS, and every instruction seems to be run in an uncached behavior, fortunately later after all the APs have been brought up again, mtrr_aps_init() will be invoked to synchronize the mtrr on these APs to the value once saved by CPU0 before suspended, thus everything is back to normal after resumed. Workaround: So it turns out to be that if we can synchronize the APs with boot CPU ASAP, rather than waiting till all CPUS online, it might reduce the impact of the bogus BIOS who scribbled the mtrr/pat. So here is the hack patch to let the users to synchronize mtrr on APs earlier. With the following debug patch applied, the resume time for CPU1 and CPU3 have dropped a lot. (Notice, the following result were tested with ftrace function_graph enabled during suspend/resume, by this tool: https://01.org/suspendresume Before patch applied: [ 619.810899] Enabling non-boot CPUs ... [ 619.825528] x86: Booting SMP configuration: [ 619.825537] smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x2 -------skip-------- [ 621.723809] CPU1 is up [ 621.762843] smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 2 APIC 0x1 -------skip-------- [ 621.766679] CPU2 is up [ 621.840228] smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 3 APIC 0x3 -------skip-------- [ 626.690900] CPU3 is up So it took CPU1 621.723809 - 619.825537 = 1898.272 ms, and CPU3 626.690900 - 621.840228 = 4850.672 ms !

I studied the commit we delay the synchronization until all the APs are brought up, and according to: Commit d0af9eed5aa9 ("x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init") It seems that there would be problem if we do not sync APs at the same time(some CPUs run with cache disabled will hang the system, because its sibling is trying to adjust the mtrr which might disable its cache) on some special platforms? But I have a question that, even in our current solution which defers the synchronization, the scenario mentioned above can not be avoided because at the time CPU3 is trying to restore mtrr, its sibling CPU1 might also be doing some kworker or ticking tasks, the CPU1 might also run with cache disabled? I'm not sure if I understand the code correctly, and it would be appreciated if people could give any comments/suggestions on how to deal with this situation found on MacProBook, and if you need me to do any test please feel free to let me know.
