Commit 7db5e9e9e5e6c10d7d ("MIPS: loongson64: fix FTLB configuration")
move decode_configs() from the beginning of cpu_probe_loongson() to the
end in order to fix FTLB configuration. However, it breaks the CPUCFG
decoding because decode_configs() use "c-&gt;options = xxxx" rather than
"c-&gt;options |= xxxx", all information get from CPUCFG by decode_cpucfg()
is lost.

This causes error when creating a KVM guest on Loongson-3A4000:
Exception Code: 4 not handled @ PC: 0000000087ad5981, inst: 0xcb7a1898 BadVaddr: 0x0 Status: 0x0

Fix this by moving the c-&gt;cputype setting to the beginning and moving
decode_configs() after that.

Pull SMP updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A large update for SMP management:

   - 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"

Pull x86 boot updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Initialize FPU late.

  Right now FPU is initialized very early during boot. There is no real
  requirement to do so. The only requirement is to have it done before
  alternatives are patched.

  That's done in check_bugs() which does way more than what the function
  name suggests.

  So first rename check_bugs() to arch_cpu_finalize_init() which makes
  it clear what this is about.

  Move the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier in
  start_kernel() as it has to be done before fork_init() which needs to
  know the FPU register buffer size.

  With those prerequisites the FPU initialization can be moved into
  arch_cpu_finalize_init(), which removes it from the early and fragile
  part of the x86 bringup"

<title>MIPS: Mark core_vpe_count() as __init</title>

<id>6e6251317c962b7c15ad2d8591f3103990c80701</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit 96cb8ae28c65 ("MIPS: Rework smt cmdline parameters"),
modpost complains when building with clang:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: core_vpe_count (section: .text) -&gt; smp_max_threads (section: .init.data)

This warning occurs when core_vpe_count() is not inlined, as it appears
that a non-init function is referring to an init symbol. However, this
is not a problem in practice because core_vpe_count() is only called
from __init functions, cps_smp_setup() and cps_prepare_cpus().

Resolve the warning by marking core_vpe_count() as __init, as it is only
called in an init context so it can refer to init functions and symbols
and have its memory freed on boot.

Provide a generic smt parameters interface aligned with s390
to allow users to limit smt usage and threads per core.

It replaced previous undocumented "nothreads" parameter for
smp-cps which is ambiguous and does not cover smp-mt.
