Subject: [PATCH v4 0/9] Parallel CPU bringup for x86_64
Date:   Tue,  1 Feb 2022 20:53:19 +0000

Precedence: bulk

Doing the INIT/SIPI/SIPI in parallel for all APs and *then* waiting for
them shaves about 80% off the AP bringup time on a 96-thread 2-socket
Skylake box (EC2 c5.metal) — from about 500ms to 100ms.

There are more wins to be had with further parallelisation, but this is
the simple part.

v2: Cut it back to just INIT/SIPI/SIPI in parallel for now, nothing more
v3: Clean up x2apic patch, add MTRR optimisation, lock topology update
    in preparation for more parallelisation.
v4: Fixes to the real mode parallelisation patch spotted by SeanC, to
    avoid scribbling on initial_gs in common_cpu_up(), and to allow all
    24 bits of the physical X2APIC ID to be used. That patch still needs
    a Signed-off-by from its original author, who once claimed not to
    remember writing it at all. But now we've fixed it, hopefully he'll
    admit it now :)

      x86/apic/x2apic: Fix parallel handling of cluster_mask
      cpu/hotplug: Move idle_thread_get() to <linux/smpboot.h>
      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 and document them
      x86/smpboot: Send INIT/SIPI/SIPI to secondary CPUs in parallel
      x86/mtrr: Avoid repeated save of MTRRs on boot-time CPU bringup
      x86/smpboot: Serialize topology updates for secondary bringup

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