Subject: [PATCH v8 0/9] Parallel CPU bringup for x86_64

The major change over v7 is fixing CPU0 hotplug not working as reported by
Paul E. McKenney using rcu torture tests. This is fixed by setting up the
initial_gs, initial_stack and early_gdt_descr properly for this case.

The improvement in boot time is the same as v7.

Thanks,
Usama

Changes across versions:
v2: Cut it back to just INIT/SIPI/SIPI in parallel for now, nothing more
v3: Clean up x2apic patch, add MTRR optimisation, lock topology update
    in preparation for more parallelisation.
v4: Fixes to the real mode parallelisation patch spotted by SeanC, to
    avoid scribbling on initial_gs in common_cpu_up(), and to allow all
    24 bits of the physical X2APIC ID to be used. That patch still needs
    a Signed-off-by from its original author, who once claimed not to
    remember writing it at all. But now we've fixed it, hopefully he'll
    admit it now :)
v5: rebase to v6.1 and remeasure performance, disable parallel bringup
    for AMD CPUs.
v6: rebase to v6.2-rc6, disabled parallel boot on amd as a cpu bug and
    reused timer calibration for secondary CPUs.
v7: [David Woodhouse] iterate over all possible CPUs to find any existing
    cluster mask in alloc_clustermask. (patch 1/9)
    Keep parallel AMD support enabled in AMD, using APIC ID in CPUID leaf
    0x0B (for x2APIC mode) or CPUID leaf 0x01 where 8 bits are sufficient.
    Included sanity checks for APIC id from 0x0B. (patch 6/9)
    Removed patch for reusing timer calibration for secondary CPUs.
    commit message and code improvements.
v8: Fix CPU0 hotplug by setting up the initial_gs, initial_stack and
    early_gdt_descr.
    Drop trampoline lock and bail if APIC ID not found in find_cpunr.
    Code comments improved and debug prints added.

David Woodhouse (9):
  x86/apic/x2apic: Allow CPU cluster_mask to be populated in parallel
  cpu/hotplug: Move idle_thread_get() to <linux/smpboot.h>
  cpu/hotplug: Add dynamic parallel bringup states before
    CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU
  x86/smpboot: Reference count on smpboot_setup_warm_reset_vector()
  x86/smpboot: Split up native_cpu_up into separate phases and document
    them
  x86/smpboot: Support parallel startup of secondary CPUs
  x86/smpboot: Send INIT/SIPI/SIPI to secondary CPUs in parallel
  x86/mtrr: Avoid repeated save of MTRRs on boot-time CPU bringup
  x86/smpboot: Serialize topology updates for secondary bringup
