Did you boot with any of the NO_HZ_FULL options on the command line,
i.e. rcu_nocbs?

Because I saw the same issue during boot when I was testing the
NO_HZ_FULL stuff previously:

And I *think* I saw this yesterday too on a randbuild kernel.

Looks like we're sending a resched IPI to a cpu which is not online yet
in order to start the MCE polling timer. So the rcu* options are kinda
unlikely to be related, AFAICT.

Frederic?

Thanks.
