Subject: [PATCH 00/11] Parallel CPU bringup for x86_64

Dusting off this patch series from February, in which we reduce the time 
taken for bringing up CPUs on a 96-way Skylake box from 500ms to about 
34ms.

There is more parallelism to be had here, including a 1:many TSC sync 
(or just *no* TSC sync, in the kexec case), and letting the APs all run 
through their own states from CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU to CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE 
in parallel too. But I'll take a mere factor of 15 for the time being.

We can also have a careful look at the remaining time spent in the 
initial INIT/SIPI phase and see what we can shave off it.

David Woodhouse (10):
      x86/apic/x2apic: Fix parallel handling of cluster_mask
      rcu: Kill rnp->ofl_seq and use only rcu_state.ofl_lock for exclusion
      rcu: Add mutex for rcu boost kthread spawning and affinity setting
      cpu/hotplug: Add dynamic parallel bringup states before CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU
      x86/smpboot: Reference count on smpboot_setup_warm_reset_vector()
      x86/smpboot: Split up native_cpu_up into separate phases
      cpu/hotplug: Move idle_thread_get() to <linux/smpboot.h>
      x86/tsc: Avoid synchronizing TSCs with multiple CPUs in parallel
      x86/smp: Bring up secondary CPUs in parallel
      x86/kvm: Silence per-cpu pr_info noise about KVM clocks and steal time

Thomas Gleixner (1):
      x86/boot: Support parallel startup of secondary CPUs
