Subject: [PATCH] x86/power: Fix 'nosmt' vs. hibernation triple fault during
 resume

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@...e.cz>

As explained in

	0cc3cd21657b ("cpu/hotplug: Boot HT siblings at least once")

we always, no matter what, have to bring up x86 HT siblings during boot at 
least once in order to avoid first MCE bringing the system to its knees.

That means that whenever 'nosmt' is supplied on the kernel command-line, 
all the HT siblings are as a result sitting in mwait or cpudile after 
going through the online-offline cycle at least once.

This causes a serious issue though when a kernel, which saw 'nosmt' on its 
commandline, is going to perform resume from hibernation: if the resume 
from the hibernated image is successful, cr3 is flipped in order to point 
to the address space of the kernel that is being resumed, which in turn 
means that all the HT siblings are all of a sudden mwaiting on address 
which is no longer valid.

That results in triple fault shortly after cr3 is switched, and machine 
reboots.

Fix this by always waking up all the SMT siblings before initiating the 
'restore from hibernation' process; this guarantees that all the HT 
siblings will be properly carried over to the resumed kernel waiting in 
resume_play_dead(), and acted upon accordingly afterwards, based on the 
target kernel configuration.
