Subject: [34-longterm 153/209] x86, hotplug: Use mwait to offline a processor, fix the legacy case
From: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@...ux.intel.com>
=====================================================================
| This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
| If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
=====================================================================
commit ea53069231f9317062910d6e772cca4ce93de8c8 upstream.
The code in native_play_dead() has a number of problems:
1. We should use MWAIT when available, to put ourselves into a deeper
sleep state.
2. We use the existence of CLFLUSH to determine if WBINVD is safe, but
that is totally bogus -- WBINVD is 486+, whereas CLFLUSH is a much
later addition.
3. We should do WBINVD inside the loop, just in case of something like
setting an A bit on page tables. Pointed out by Arjan van de Ven.
This code is based in part of a previous patch by Venki Pallipadi, but
unlike that patch this one keeps all the detection code local instead
of pre-caching a bunch of information. We're shutting down the CPU;
there is absolutely no hurry.
This patch moves all the code to C and deletes the global
wbinvd_halt() which is broken anyway.
