The reason of this is that in __cpu_disable(), when we try to set the
cpu_sibling_mask or cpu_core_mask of the sibling CPUs of the disabled
one, we don't check whether the current configuration employs those
sibling CPUs(hw threads). And if a CPU is not employed by a
configuration, the percpu structures cpu_{sibling,core}_mask are not
allocated, therefore accessing those cpumasks will result in problems as
above.

This patch fixes this problem by adding an addition check on whether the
id is no less than nr_cpu_ids in the sibling CPU iteration code.

<title>powerpc: Move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file</title>

We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement
this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h.

Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the
problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then
cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs
reg.h (for MSR_EE).

So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

Export cpu_to_core_id(). This will be used by the lpfc driver.

This enables topology_core_id() from &lt;linux/topology.h&gt; (defined
to cpu_to_core_id() in arch/powerpc/include/asm/topology.h) to be
used by (non-builtin) modules.

That is arch-neutral, already used by eg, drivers/base/topology.c,
but it is builtin (obj-y in Makefile) thus didn't need the export.

Since the module uses topology_core_id() and this is defined to
cpu_to_core_id(), it needs the export, otherwise:

    ERROR: "cpu_to_core_id" [drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc.ko] undefined!

Tested on next-20160601.

This introduces asm-prototypes.h, which provides a place for
prototypes of these functions.

This silences some sparse warnings.

<title>sched: Allow per-cpu kernel threads to run on online &amp;&amp; !active</title>

<content type='text'>
In order to enable symmetric hotplug, we must mirror the online &amp;&amp;
!active state of cpu-down on the cpu-up side.

However, to retain sanity, limit this state to per-cpu kthreads.

Aside from the change to set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), which allow moving
the per-cpu kthreads on, the other critical piece is the cpu selection
for pinned tasks in select_task_rq(). This avoids dropping into
select_fallback_rq().

select_fallback_rq() cannot be allowed to select !active cpus because
its used to migrate user tasks away. And we do not want to move user
tasks onto cpus that are in transition.

!active state of cpu-down on the cpu-up side.

However, to retain sanity, limit this state to per-cpu kthreads.

Aside from the change to set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), which allow moving
the per-cpu kthreads on, the other critical piece is the cpu selection
for pinned tasks in select_task_rq(). This avoids dropping into
select_fallback_rq().

select_fallback_rq() cannot be allowed to select !active cpus because
its used to migrate user tasks away. And we do not want to move user
tasks onto cpus that are in transition.

  ARM:
   - VHE support so that we can run the kernel at EL2 on ARMv8.1 systems
   - PMU support for guests
   - 32bit world switch rewritten in C
   - various optimizations to the vgic save/restore code.

  PPC:
   - enabled KVM-VFIO integration ("VFIO device")
   - optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus
   - in-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls
   - support for dynamic DMA windows (DDW).

  s390:
   - provide the floating point registers via sync regs;
   - separated instruction vs.  data accesses
   - dirty log improvements for huge guests
   - bugfixes and documentation improvements.

  x86:
   - Hyper-V VMBus hypercall userspace exit
   - alternative implementation of lowest-priority interrupts using
     vector hashing (for better VT-d posted interrupt support)
   - fixed guest debugging with nested virtualizations
   - improved interrupt tracking in the in-kernel IOAPIC
   - generic infrastructure for tracking writes to guest
     memory - currently its only use is to speedup the legacy shadow
     paging (pre-EPT) case, but in the future it will be used for
     virtual GPUs as well

<title>arch/hotplug: Call into idle with a proper state</title>

Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so
the hotplug core can handle the further bringup. That's a first step to
convert the boot side of the hotplugged cpus to do all the synchronization
with the other side through the state machine. For now it'll only start the
hotplug thread and kick the full bringup of the cpu.
