x86/topology: Add topology_max_smt_threads()

For SMT specific workarounds it is useful to know if SMT is active
on any online CPU in the system. This currently requires a loop
over all online CPUs.

x86/topology: Add topology_max_smt_threads()

For SMT specific workarounds it is useful to know if SMT is active
on any online CPU in the system. This currently requires a loop
over all online CPUs.

Add a global variable that is updated with the maximum number
of smt threads on any CPU on online/offline, and use it for
topology_max_smt_threads()

The single call is easier to use than a loop.

Not exported to user space because user space already can use
the existing sibling interfaces to find this out.

x86/topology: Handle CPUID bogosity gracefully

Joseph reported that a XEN guest dies with a division by 0 in the package

Handle that case and emit a warning. This does not fix the underlying XEN bug,
but makes the code more robust.

x86/topology: Use total_cpus not nr_cpu_ids for logical packages

nr_cpu_ids can be limited on the command line via nr_cpus=. That can break the
logical package management because it results in a smaller number of packages,
but the cpus to online are occupying the full package space as the hyper
threads are enumerated after the physical cores typically.

total_cpus is the real possible cpu space not limited by nr_cpus command line
and gives us the proper number of packages.

Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so

packages to be within bounds. Create a tracking facility, which

- calculates the number of possible packages depending on nr_cpu_ids after boot

- makes sure that the package id is within the number of possible packages. If
the apic id is outside we map it to a logical package id if there is enough
space available.

physcial to logical ids.

x86/smpboot: Fix CPU #1 boot timeout

The following commit:

a9bcaa02a5104ac ("x86/smpboot: Remove SIPI delays from cpu_up()")

Caused some Intel Core2 processors to time-out when bringing up CPU #1,
resulting in the missing of that CPU after bootup.

That patch reduced the SIPI delays from udelay() 300, 200 to udelay() 0,
0 on modern processors.

Several Intel(R) Core(TM)2 systems failed to bring up CPU #1 10/10 times
after that change.

Increasing either of the SIPI delays to udelay(1) results in
success. So here we increase both to udelay(10). While this may
be 20x slower than the absolute minimum, it is still 20x to 30x
faster than the original code.

Linux skips the udelay(10,000) on modern processors.
This patch removes the udelay(200) after each SIPI
on those same processors.

All three legacy delays can be restored by the cmdline

As measured by analyze_suspend.py, this patch speeds
processor resume time on my desktop from 2.4ms to 1.8ms, per AP.

x86/smpboot: Remove udelay(100) when polling cpu_callin_map

After the BSP sends INIT/SIPI/SIP to the AP and sees the AP
in the cpu_initialized_map, it sets the AP loose via the
cpu_callout_map, and waits for it via the cpu_callin_map.

The BSP polls the cpu_callin_map with a udelay(100)
and a schedule() in each iteration.

The udelay(100) adds no value.

For example, on my 4-CPU dekstop, the AP finishes
cpu_callin() in under 70 usec and sets the cpu_callin_mask.
The BSP, however, doesn't see that setting until over 30 usec
later, because it was still running its udelay(100)
when the AP finished.

Deleting the udelay(100) in the cpu_callin_mask polling loop,
saves from 0 to 100 usec per Application Processor.

After the BSP sends the APIC INIT/SIPI/SIPI to the AP,
it waits for the AP to come up and indicate that it is alive
by setting its own bit in the cpu_initialized_mask.

Linux polls for up to 10 seconds for this to happen.
Each polling loop has a udelay(100) and a call to schedule().

The udelay(100) adds no value.

For example, on my desktop, the BSP waits for the
other 3 CPUs to come on line at boot for 305, 404, 405 usec.
For resume from S3, it waits 317, 404, 405 usec.

But when the udelay(100) is removed, the BSP waits
305, 310, 306 for boot, and 305, 307, 306 for resume.

So for both boot and resume, removing the udelay(100)
speeds online by about 100us in 2 of 3 cases.

x86: Drop bogus __ref / __refdata annotations

The __ref / __refdata annotations used to be needed because of
referencing functions / variables annotated __cpuinit /
__cpuinitdata.

But those annotations vanished during the development of v3.11.

Therefore most of the __ref / __refdata annotations are not needed
anymore. As they may hide legitimate sections mismatches, we
better get rid of them.

genirq: Revert sparse irq locking around __cpu_up() and move it to x86 for now

Boris reported that the sparse_irq protection around __cpu_up() in the
generic code causes a regression on Xen. Xen allocates interrupts and
some more in the xen_cpu_up() function, so it deadlocks on the
sparse_irq_lock.

There is no simple fix for this and we really should have the
protection for all architectures, but for now the only solution is to
move it to x86 where actual wreckage due to the lack of protection has
been observed.

x86/irq: Plug irq vector hotplug race

Jin debugged a nasty cpu hotplug race which results in leaking a irq
vector on the newly hotplugged cpu.

cpu N cpu M
native_cpu_up device_shutdown
do_boot_cpu free_msi_irqs
start_secondary arch_teardown_msi_irqs
smp_callin default_teardown_msi_irqs
setup_vector_irq arch_teardown_msi_irq
__setup_vector_irq native_teardown_msi_irq
lock(vector_lock) destroy_irq
install vectors
unlock(vector_lock)
lock(vector_lock)
---> __clear_irq_vector
unlock(vector_lock)
lock(vector_lock)
set_cpu_online
unlock(vector_lock)

This leaves the irq vector(s) which are torn down on CPU M stale in
the vector array of CPU N, because CPU M does not see CPU N online
yet. There is a similar issue with concurrent newly setup interrupts.

The alloc/free protection of irq descriptors does not prevent the
above race, because it merily prevents interrupt descriptors from
going away or changing concurrently.

Prevent this by moving the call to setup_vector_irq() into the
vector_lock held region which protects set_cpu_online():

cpu N cpu M
native_cpu_up device_shutdown
do_boot_cpu free_msi_irqs
start_secondary arch_teardown_msi_irqs
smp_callin default_teardown_msi_irqs
lock(vector_lock) arch_teardown_msi_irq
setup_vector_irq()
__setup_vector_irq native_teardown_msi_irq
install vectors destroy_irq
set_cpu_online
unlock(vector_lock)
lock(vector_lock)
__clear_irq_vector
unlock(vector_lock)

So cpu M either sees the cpu N online before clearing the vector or
cpu N installs the vectors after cpu M has cleared it.

x86/espfix: Init espfix on the boot CPU side

As we alloc pages with GFP_KERNEL in init_espfix_ap() which is
called before we enable local irqs, so the lockdep sub-system
would (correctly) trigger a warning about the potentially
blocking API.

So we allocate them on the boot CPU side when the secondary CPU is
brought up by the boot CPU, and hand them over to the secondary
CPU.

And we use alloc_pages_node() with the secondary CPU's node, to
make sure the espfix stack is NUMA-local to the CPU that is
going to use it.

This unifies all the FPU related header files under a unified, hiearchical
naming scheme:

- asm/fpu/types.h: FPU related data types, needed for 'struct task_struct',
widely included in almost all kernel code, and hence kept
as small as possible.

- asm/fpu/api.h: FPU related 'public' methods exported to other subsystems.

- asm/fpu/internal.h: FPU subsystem internal methods

- asm/fpu/xsave.h: XSAVE support internal methods

(Also standardize the header guard in asm/fpu/internal.h.)
