The problem with the current init_low_mappings is that it hacks the
current page table. If we can instead use a different page table
the code becomes SMP safe.
I have extracted the patch that addresses this from the relocatable
patchset and appended it for sparking ideas. It goes a little
farther than we need to solve this issue but the basics are there.

So I'm not certain if in a multiple cpu context we can avoid all of the
issues with cpu hotplug but there is a reasonable chance so I will
explain as best I can.
Yanking the appropriate code out of linuxbios the way a processor should stop
itself is to send an INIT IPI to itself. This puts a cpu into an optimized
wait for startup IPI state where it is otherwise disabled. This is the state
any sane BIOS will put the cpus into before control is handed off to the kernel.

I'm not certain what to do with the interrupt races. But I will see
if I can explain what I know.
<braindump>
- Most ioapics are buggy.
- Most ioapics do not follow pci-ordering rules with respect to
interrupt message deliver so ensuring all in-flight irqs have
arrived somewhere is very hard.
- To avoid bugs we always limit ourselves to reprogramming the ioapics
in the interrupt handler, and not considering an interrupt
successfully reprogrammed until we have received an irq in the new
location.
- On x86 we have two basic interrupt handling modes.
o logical addressing with lowest priority delivery.
o physical addressing with delivery to a single cpu.
- With logical addressing as long as the cpu is not available for
having an interrupt delivered to it the interrupt will be
never be delivered to a particular cpu. Ideally we also update
the mask in the ioapic to not target that cpu.
- With physical addressing targeting a single cpu we need to reprogram
the ioapics not to target that specific cpu. This needs to happen
in the interrupt handler and we need to wait for the next interrupt
before we tear down our data structures for handling the interrupt.
The current cpu hotplug code attempts to reprogram the ioapics from
process context which is just wrong.
Now as part of suspend/resume I think we should be programming the
hardware not to generate interrupts in the first place at the actual
hardware devices so we can likely avoid all of the code that
reprograms interrupts while they are active. If we can use things
like pci ordering rules to ensure the device will never fire the
interrupt until resumed we should be able to disable interrupts
synchronously. Something that we can not safely do in the current
cpu hotplug scenario. Which should make the problem of doing the
work race free much easier.
I don't know if other architectures need to disable cpus or not before
doing a suspend to ram or a suspend to disk.
I also don't know if we have any code that brings up the other cpus
after we have been suspended. In either the cpu hotplug paths or the
architecture specific paths.
The bottom line is after the partial review of the irq handling during
cpu shutdown a little while ago that I consider the current cpu
hotplug code to be something that works when you are lucky. There are
to many hardware bugs to support the general case it tries to
implement.
I have not reviewed the entire cpu hotplug path nor have I even tried
suspend/resume. But I have been all and down the boot and shutdown
code paths so I understand the general problem.
The other part I know is that cpu numbers are assigned at the
architectures discretion. So unless the architecture code or the
early boot code sets a variable remembering which was the boot cpu
there is no reason to believe we can deduce it. In addition I don't
know if any other architectures have anything resembling the x86
requirement to disable non-boot cpus. I do know machine_shutdown
on i386 and x86_64 performs that action (if not perfectly) so at
least currently we should be able to do this in architecture
specific code.

Subject: [PATCH 12/20] x86_64: 64bit ACPI wakeup trampoline
o Moved wakeup_level4_pgt into the wakeup routine so we can
run the kernel above 4G.
o Now we first go to 64bit mode and continue to run from trampoline and
then then start accessing kernel symbols and restore processor context.
This enables us to resume even in relocatable kernel context when
kernel might not be loaded at physical addr it has been compiled for.
o Removed the need for modifying any existing kernel page table.
o Increased the size of the wakeup routine to 8K. This is required as
wake page tables are on trampoline itself and they got to be at 4K
boundary, hence one page is not sufficient.
