- Limit the hardcoded topology quirk for Hygon CPUs to those which have a
model ID less than 4. The newer models have the topology CPUID leaf 0xB
correctly implemented and are not affected.
- Make SMT control more robust against enumeration failures
SMT control was added to allow controlling SMT at boottime or
runtime. The primary purpose was to provide a simple mechanism to
disable SMT in the light of speculation attack vectors.
It turned out that the code is sensible to enumeration failures and
worked only by chance for XEN/PV. XEN/PV has no real APIC enumeration
which means the primary thread mask is not set up correctly. By chance
a XEN/PV boot ends up with smp_num_siblings == 2, which makes the
hotplug control stay at its default value "enabled". So the mask is
never evaluated.
The ongoing rework of the topology evaluation caused XEN/PV to end up
with smp_num_siblings == 1, which sets the SMT control to "not
supported" and the empty primary thread mask causes the hotplug core to
deny the bringup of the APS.
Make the decision logic more robust and take 'not supported' and 'not
implemented' into account for the decision whether a CPU should be
booted or not.
- Fake primary thread mask for XEN/PV
Pretend that all XEN/PV vCPUs are primary threads, which makes the
usage of the primary thread mask valid on XEN/PV. That is consistent
with because all of the topology information on XEN/PV is fake or even
non-existent.
- Encapsulate topology information in cpuinfo_x86
Move the randomly scattered topology data into a separate data
structure for readability and as a preparatory step for the topology
evaluation overhaul.
- Consolidate APIC ID data type to u32
It's fixed width hardware data and not randomly u16, int, unsigned long
or whatever developers decided to use.
- Cure the abuse of cpuinfo for persisting logical IDs.
Per CPU cpuinfo is used to persist the logical package and die
IDs. That's really not the right place simply because cpuinfo is
subject to be reinitialized when a CPU goes through an offline/online
cycle.
Use separate per CPU data for the persisting to enable the further
topology management rework. It will be removed once the new topology
management is in place.
- Provide a debug interface for inspecting topology information
Useful in general and extremly helpful for validating the topology
management rework in terms of correctness or "bug" compatibility.

32-bit loads microcode before paging is enabled. The commit which
introduced that has zero justification in the changelog. The cover
letter has slightly more content, but it does not give any technical
justification either:
"The problem in current microcode loading method is that we load a
microcode way, way too late; ideally we should load it before turning
paging on. This may only be practical on 32 bits since we can't get
to 64-bit mode without paging on, but we should still do it as early
as at all possible."
Handwaving word salad with zero technical content.
Someone claimed in an offlist conversation that this is required for
curing the ATOM erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41. That erratum requires
an microcode update in order to make the usage of PSE safe. But during
early boot, PSE is completely irrelevant and it is evaluated way later.
Neither is it relevant for the AP on single core HT enabled CPUs as the
microcode loading on the AP is not doing anything.
On dual core CPUs there is a theoretical problem if a split of an
executable large page between enabling paging including PSE and loading
the microcode happens. But that's only theoretical, it's practically
irrelevant because the affected dual core CPUs are 64bit enabled and
therefore have paging and PSE enabled before loading the microcode on
the second core. So why would it work on 64-bit but not on 32-bit?
The erratum:
"AAG38 Code Fetch May Occur to Incorrect Address After a Large Page is
Split Into 4-Kbyte Pages
Problem: If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE
(page directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through
this PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old
TLB entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses
this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then it
may fetch from a different physical address than specified by either the
old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page translation. This
erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from incorrect addresses."
The practical relevance for this is exactly zero because there is no
splitting of large text pages during early boot-time, i.e. between paging
enable and microcode loading, and neither during CPU hotplug.
IOW, this load microcode before paging enable is yet another voodoo
programming solution in search of a problem. What's worse is that it causes
at least two serious problems:
1) When stackprotector is enabled, the microcode loader code has the
stackprotector mechanics enabled. The read from the per CPU variable
__stack_chk_guard is always accessing the virtual address either
directly on UP or via %fs on SMP. In physical address mode this
results in an access to memory above 3GB. So this works by chance as
the hardware returns the same value when there is no RAM at this
physical address. When there is RAM populated above 3G then the read
is by chance the same as nothing changes that memory during the very
early boot stage. That's not necessarily true during runtime CPU
hotplug.
2) When function tracing is enabled, the relevant microcode loader
functions and the functions invoked from there will call into the
tracing code and evaluate global and per CPU variables in physical
address mode. What could potentially go wrong?
Cure this and move the microcode loading after the early paging enable, use
the new temporary initrd mapping and remove the gunk in the microcode
loader which is required to handle physical address mode.

This reverts commit 45e34c8af5, and the
two subsequent fixes to it:
3f874c9b2a ("x86/smp: Don't send INIT to non-present and non-booted CPUs")
b1472a60a5 ("x86/smp: Don't send INIT to boot CPU")
because it seems to result in hung machines at shutdown. Particularly
some Dell machines, but Thomas says
"The rest seems to be Lenovo and Sony with Alderlake/Raptorlake CPUs -
at least that's what I could figure out from the various bug reports.
I don't know which CPUs the DELL machines have, so I can't say it's a
pattern.
I agree with the revert for now"
Ashok Raj chimes in:
"There was a report (probably this same one), and it turns out it was a
bug in the BIOS SMI handler.
The client BIOS's were waiting for the lowest APICID to be the SMI
rendevous master. If this is MeteorLake, the BSP wasn't the one with
the lowest APIC and it triped here.
The BIOS change is also being pushed to others for assimilation :)
Server BIOS's had this correctly for a while now"
and it does look likely to be some bad interaction between SMI and the
non-BSP cores having put into INIT (and thus unresponsive until reset).

Per CPU cpuinfo is used to persist the logical package and die IDs. That's
really not the right place simply because cpuinfo is subject to be
reinitialized when a CPU goes through an offline/online cycle.
This works by chance today, but that's far from correct and neither obvious
nor documented.
Add a per cpu datastructure which persists those logical IDs, which allows
to cleanup the CPUID evaluation code.
This is a temporary workaround until the larger topology management is in
place, which makes all of this logical management mechanics obsolete.

The topology IDs which identify the LLC and L2 domains clearly belong to
the per CPU topology information.
Move them into cpuinfo_x86::cpuinfo_topo and get rid of the extra per CPU
data and the related exports.
This also paves the way to do proper topology evaluation during early boot
because it removes the only per CPU dependency for that.
No functional change.

Commit bf5835bcdb ("intel_idle: Disable IBRS during long idle")
disables IBRS when the CPU enters long idle. However, when a CPU
becomes offline, the IBRS bit is still set when X86_FEATURE_KERNEL_IBRS
is enabled. That will impact the performance of a sibling CPU. Mitigate
this performance impact by clearing all the mitigation bits in SPEC_CTRL
MSR when offline. When the CPU is online again, it will be re-initialized
and so restoring the SPEC_CTRL value isn't needed.
Add a comment to say that native_play_dead() is a __noreturn function,
but it can't be marked as such to avoid confusion about the missing
MSR restoration code.
When DPDK is running on an isolated CPU thread processing network packets
in user space while its sibling thread is idle. The performance of the
busy DPDK thread with IBRS on and off in the sibling idle thread are:
IBRS on IBRS off
------- --------
packets/second: 7.8M 10.4M
avg tsc cycles/packet: 282.26 209.86
This is a 25% performance degradation. The test system is a Intel Xeon
4114 CPU @ 2.20GHz.

rcu_report_dead() and rcutree_migrate_callbacks() have their headers in
rcupdate.h while those are pure rcutree calls, like the other CPU-hotplug
functions.
Also rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() have different naming
conventions while they mirror each other's effects.
Fix the headers and propose a naming that relates both functions and
aligns with the prefix of other rcutree CPU-hotplug functions.

Vasant reported that kexec() can hang or reset the machine when it tries to
park CPUs via INIT. This happens when the kernel is using extended APIC,
but the present mask has APIC IDs >= 0x100 enumerated.
As extended APIC can only handle 8 bit of APIC ID sending INIT to APIC ID
0x100 sends INIT to APIC ID 0x0. That's the boot CPU which is special on
x86 and INIT causes the system to hang or resets the machine.
Prevent this by sending INIT only to those CPUs which have been booted
once.

If the system has more than 8 CPUs then XAPIC and the bigsmp APIC driver is
required. This is ensured via:
1) Enumerating all possible CPUs up to NR_CPUS
2) Checking at boot CPU APIC setup time whether the system has more than
8 CPUs and has an XAPIC.
If that's the case then it's attempted to install the bigsmp APIC
driver and a magic variable 'def_to_bigsmp' is set to one.
3) If that magic variable is set and CONFIG_X86_BIGSMP=n and the system
has more than 8 CPUs smp_sanity_check() removes all CPUs >= #8 from
the present and possible mask in the most convoluted way.
This logic is completely broken for the case where the bigsmp driver is
enabled, but not selected due to a command line option specifying the
default APIC. In that case the system boots with default APIC in logical
destination mode and fails to reduce the number of CPUs.
That aside the above which is sprinkled over 3 different places is yet
another piece of art.
It would have been too obvious to check the requirements upfront and limit
nr_cpu_ids _before_ enumerating tons of CPUs and then removing them again.
Implement exactly this. Check the bigsmp requirement when the boot APIC is
registered which happens _before_ ACPI/MPTABLE parsing and limit the number
of CPUs to 8 if it can't be used. Switch it over when the boot CPU apic is
set up if necessary.

This old comment is irrelavant to the logic of disabling interrupts and
could be misleading. Remove it.
Now, hlt_play_dead() resembles the code that the comment was initially
added for, but, it doesn't make sense anymore because an offlined cpu
could also be put into other states such as mwait.

On shutdown or kexec, the kernel tries to park the non-boot CPUs with an
INIT IPI. But the same code path is also used by the crash utility. If the
CPU which panics is not the boot CPU then it sends an INIT IPI to the boot
CPU which resets the machine. Prevent this by validating that the CPU which
runs the stop mechanism is the boot CPU. If not, leave the other CPUs in
HLT.

- Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements:
- Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems.
Problem:
On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of higher-frequency
SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores), under the old code
lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the higher-priority cores if
more than one SMT sibling was busy - resulting in many unnecessary
task migrations.
Solution:
The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores with more
than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs to pull tasks, which
avoids superfluous migrations and lets lower-priority cores inspect all SMT
siblings for the busiest queue.
- Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer: consider CPU
contention in frequency, EAS max util & load-balance busiest CPU selection.
This improves CPU utilization for certain workloads, while leaves other key
workloads unchanged.
- Scheduler infrastructure improvements:
- Rewrite the scheduler topology setup code by consolidating it
into the build_sched_topology() helper function and building
it dynamically on the fly.
- Resolve the local_clock() vs. noinstr complications by rewriting
the code: provide separate sched_clock_noinstr() and
local_clock_noinstr() functions to be used in instrumentation code,
and make sure it is all instrumentation-safe.
- Fixes:
- Fix a kthread_park() race with wait_woken()
- Fix misc wait_task_inactive() bugs unearthed by the -rt merge:
- Fix UP PREEMPT bug by unifying the SMP and UP implementations.
- Fix task_struct::saved_state handling.
- Fix various rq clock update bugs, unearthed by turning on the rq clock
debugging code.
- Fix the PSI WINDOW_MIN_US trigger limit, which was easy to trigger by
creating enough cgroups, by removing the warnign and restricting
window size triggers to PSI file write-permission or CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.
- Propagate SMT flags in the topology when removing degenerate domain
- Fix grub_reclaim() calculation bug in the deadline scheduler code
- Avoid resetting the min update period when it is unnecessary, in

- Don't balance a task to its current running CPU in load_balance(),
which was possible on certain NUMA topologies with overlapping

- Ensure that the WBINVD in stop_this_cpu() has been completed before the
control CPU proceedes.
stop_this_cpu() is used for kexec(), reboot and shutdown to park the APs
in a HLT loop.
The control CPU sends an IPI to the APs and waits for their CPU online bits
to be cleared. Once they all are marked "offline" it proceeds.
But stop_this_cpu() clears the CPU online bit before issuing WBINVD,
which means there is no guarantee that the AP has reached the HLT loop.
This was reported to cause intermittent reboot/shutdown failures due to
some dubious interaction with the firmware.
This is not only a problem of WBINVD. The code to actually "stop" the
CPU which runs between clearing the online bit and reaching the HLT loop
can cause large enough delays on its own (think virtualization). That's
especially dangerous for kexec() as kexec() expects that all APs are in
a safe state and not executing code while the boot CPU jumps to the new
kernel. There are more issues vs. kexec() which are addressed separately.
Cure this by implementing an explicit synchronization point right before
the AP reaches HLT. This guarantees that the AP has completed the full
stop proceedure.
- Fix the condition for WBINVD in stop_this_cpu().
The WBINVD in stop_this_cpu() is required for ensuring that when
switching to or from memory encryption no dirty data is left in the
cache lines which might cause a write back in the wrong more later.
This checks CPUID directly because the feature bit might have been
cleared due to a command line option.
But that CPUID check accesses leaf 0x8000001f::EAX unconditionally. Intel
CPUs return the content of the highest supported leaf when a non-existing
leaf is read, while AMD CPUs return all zeros for unsupported leafs.
So the result of the test on Intel CPUs is lottery and on AMD its just
correct by chance.
While harmless it's incorrect and causes the conditional wbinvd() to be
issued where not required, which caused the above issue to be unearthed.
- Make kexec() robust against AP code execution
Ashok observed triple faults when doing kexec() on a system which had
been booted with "nosmt".
It turned out that the SMT siblings which had been brought up partially
are parked in mwait_play_dead() to enable power savings.
mwait_play_dead() is monitoring the thread flags of the AP's idle task,
which has been chosen as it's unlikely to be written to.
But kexec() can overwrite the previous kernel text and data including
page tables etc. When it overwrites the cache lines monitored by an AP
that AP resumes execution after the MWAIT on eventually overwritten
text, stack and page tables, which obviously might end up in a triple
fault easily.
Make this more robust in several steps:
1) Use an explicit per CPU cache line for monitoring.
2) Write a command to these cache lines to kick APs out of MWAIT before
proceeding with kexec(), shutdown or reboot.
The APs confirm the wakeup by writing status back and then enter a
HLT loop.
3) If the system uses INIT/INIT/STARTUP for AP bringup, park the APs
in INIT state.
HLT is not a guarantee that an AP won't wake up and resume
execution. HLT is woken up by NMI and SMI. SMI puts the CPU back
into HLT (+/- firmware bugs), but NMI is delivered to the CPU which
executes the NMI handler. Same issue as the MWAIT scenario described
above.
Sending an INIT/INIT sequence to the APs puts them into wait for
STARTUP state, which is safe against NMI.
There is still an issue remaining which can't be fixed: #MCE
If the AP sits in HLT and receives a broadcast #MCE it will try to
handle it with the obvious consequences.
INIT/INIT clears CR4.MCE in the AP which will cause a broadcast #MCE to
shut down the machine.
So there is a choice between fire (HLT) and frying pan (INIT). Frying
pan has been chosen as it's at least preventing the NMI issue.
On systems which are not using INIT/INIT/STARTUP there is not much
which can be done right now, but at least the obvious and easy to
trigger MWAIT issue has been addressed.

- Parallel CPU bringup
The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to shorten
the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the downtime of the
VM tenants.
The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:
1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads)
2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86)
3) Wait for the AP to report alive state
4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup
5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state
There are two significant delays:
#3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary() on
x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms
depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.
#4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been
measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending on
the microcode patch size to apply.
On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU
spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to come
up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual onlining
procedure.
This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup mechanism
into two parts:
1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP which
needs to be brought up.
The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the low
level kernel startup code including microcode loading in parallel
up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2 above)
2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU
(#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.
Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible in
theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery would be
justified for a pretty small gain.
If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at the
first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the wake-up of
the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that SKL from ~800ms
to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.
The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU, microcode
patch size and other factors. There are some opportunities to reduce
the overhead further, but that needs some deep surgery in the x86 CPU
bringup code.
For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality
obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.
- Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to locate
the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows to measure
IPI delivery time precisely.

The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to
shorten the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the
downtime of the VM tenants.
The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:
1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads)
2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86)
3) Wait for the AP to report alive state
4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup
5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state
There are two significant delays:
#3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary()
on x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms
depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.
#4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been
measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending
on the microcode patch size to apply.
On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU
spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to
come up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual
onlining procedure.
This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup
mechanism into two parts:
1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP
which needs to be brought up.
The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the
low level kernel startup code including microcode loading in
parallel up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2
above)
2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU
(#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.
Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible
in theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery
would be justified for a pretty small gain.
If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at
the first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the
wake-up of the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that
SKL from ~800ms to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.
The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU,
microcode patch size and other factors. There are some
opportunities to reduce the overhead further, but that needs some
deep surgery in the x86 CPU bringup code.
For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality
obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.
- Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to
locate the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows
to measure IPI delivery time precisely"

Parking CPUs in a HLT loop is not completely safe vs. kexec() as HLT can
resume execution due to NMI, SMI and MCE, which has the same issue as the
MWAIT loop.
Kicking the secondary CPUs into INIT makes this safe against NMI and SMI.
A broadcast MCE will take the machine down, but a broadcast MCE which makes
HLT resume and execute overwritten text, pagetables or data will end up in
a disaster too.
So chose the lesser of two evils and kick the secondary CPUs into INIT
unless the system has installed special wakeup mechanisms which are not
using INIT.

Putting CPUs into INIT is a safer place during kexec() to park CPUs.

TLDR: It's a mess.
When kexec() is executed on a system with offline CPUs, which are parked in
mwait_play_dead() it can end up in a triple fault during the bootup of the
kexec kernel or cause hard to diagnose data corruption.
The reason is that kexec() eventually overwrites the previous kernel's text,
page tables, data and stack. If it writes to the cache line which is
monitored by a previously offlined CPU, MWAIT resumes execution and ends
up executing the wrong text, dereferencing overwritten page tables or
corrupting the kexec kernels data.
Cure this by bringing the offlined CPUs out of MWAIT into HLT.
Write to the monitored cache line of each offline CPU, which makes MWAIT
resume execution. The written control word tells the offlined CPUs to issue
HLT, which does not have the MWAIT problem.
That does not help, if a stray NMI, MCE or SMI hits the offlined CPUs as
those make it come out of HLT.
A follow up change will put them into INIT, which protects at least against
NMI and SMI.

Monitoring idletask::thread_info::flags in mwait_play_dead() has been an
obvious choice as all what is needed is a cache line which is not written
by other CPUs.
But there is a use case where a "dead" CPU needs to be brought out of
MWAIT: kexec().
This is required as kexec() can overwrite text, pagetables, stacks and the
monitored cacheline of the original kernel. The latter causes MWAIT to
resume execution which obviously causes havoc on the kexec kernel which
results usually in triple faults.
Use a dedicated per CPU storage to prepare for that.

The decision to allow parallel bringup of secondary CPUs checks
CC_ATTR_GUEST_STATE_ENCRYPT to detect encrypted guests. Those cannot use
parallel bootup because accessing the local APIC is intercepted and raises
a #VC or #VE, which cannot be handled at that point.
The check works correctly, but only for AMD encrypted guests. TDX does not
set that flag.
As there is no real connection between CC attributes and the inability to
support parallel bringup, replace this with a generic control flag in
x86_cpuinit and let SEV-ES and TDX init code disable it.

Implement the validation function which tells the core code whether
parallel bringup is possible.
The only condition for now is that the kernel does not run in an encrypted
guest as these will trap the RDMSR via #VC, which cannot be handled at that
point in early startup.
There was an earlier variant for AMD-SEV which used the GHBC protocol for
retrieving the APIC ID via CPUID, but there is no guarantee that the
initial APIC ID in CPUID is the same as the real APIC ID. There is no
enforcement from the secure firmware and the hypervisor can assign APIC IDs
as it sees fit as long as the ACPI/MADT table is consistent with that
assignment.
Unfortunately there is no RDMSR GHCB protocol at the moment, so enabling
AMD-SEV guests for parallel startup needs some more thought.
Intel-TDX provides a secure RDMSR hypercall, but supporting that is outside
the scope of this change.
Fixup announce_cpu() as e.g. on Hyper-V CPU1 is the secondary sibling of
CPU0, which makes the @cpu == 1 logic in announce_cpu() fall apart.

In parallel startup mode the APs are kicked alive by the control CPU
quickly after each other and run through the early startup code in
parallel. The real-mode startup code is already serialized with a
bit-spinlock to protect the real-mode stack.
In parallel startup mode the smpboot_control variable obviously cannot
contain the Linux CPU number so the APs have to determine their Linux CPU
number on their own. This is required to find the CPUs per CPU offset in
order to find the idle task stack and other per CPU data.
To achieve this, export the cpuid_to_apicid[] array so that each AP can
find its own CPU number by searching therein based on its APIC ID.
Introduce a flag in the top bits of smpboot_control which indicates that
the AP should find its CPU number by reading the APIC ID from the APIC.
This is required because CPUID based APIC ID retrieval can only provide the
initial APIC ID, which might have been overruled by the firmware. Some AMD
APUs come up with APIC ID = initial APIC ID + 0x10, so the APIC ID to CPU
number lookup would fail miserably if based on CPUID. Also virtualization
can make its own APIC ID assignements. The only requirement is that the
APIC IDs are consistent with the APCI/MADT table.
For the boot CPU or in case parallel bringup is disabled the control bits
are empty and the CPU number is directly available in bit 0-23 of
smpboot_control.

The x86 CPU bringup state currently does AP wake-up, wait for AP to
respond and then release it for full bringup.
It is safe to be split into a wake-up and and a separate wait+release
state.
Provide the required functions and enable the split CPU bringup, which
prepares for parallel bringup, where the bringup of the non-boot CPUs takes
two iterations: One to prepare and wake all APs and the second to wait and
release them. Depending on timing this can eliminate the wait time
completely.
