Subject: [RFC PATCH 63/67] cpu/hotplug: Document that TDX also depends on booting CPUs once
From: Kai Huang <kai.huang@...ux.intel.com>
Add a comment to explain that TDX also depends on booting logical CPUs
at least once.
TDSYSINITLP must be run on all CPUs, even software disabled CPUs in the
-nosmt case. Fortunately, current SMT handling for #MC already supports
booting all CPUs once; the to-be-disabled sibling is booted once (and
later put into deep C-state to honor SMT=off) to allow the init code to
set CR4.MCE and avoid an unwanted shutdown on a broadcasted MCE.
