commit e98eac6ff1b45e4e73f2e6031b37c256ccb5d36b upstream.

A recent change to freeze_secondary_cpus() which added an early abort if a
wakeup is pending missed the fact that the function is also invoked for
shutdown, reboot and kexec via disable_nonboot_cpus().

In case of disable_nonboot_cpus() the wakeup event needs to be ignored as
the purpose is to terminate the currently running kernel.

Add a 'suspend' argument which is only set when the freeze is in context of
a suspend operation. If not set then an eventually pending wakeup event is
ignored.

Fixes: a66d955e910a ("cpu/hotplug: Abort disabling secondary CPUs if wakeup is pending")

<title>cpu/SMT: Fix x86 link error without CONFIG_SYSFS</title>

When CONFIG_SYSFS is disabled, but CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT is enabled,
the kernel fails to link:

arch/x86/power/cpu.o: In function `hibernate_resume_nonboot_cpu_disable':
(.text+0x38d): undefined reference to `cpuhp_smt_enable'
arch/x86/power/hibernate.o: In function `arch_resume_nosmt':
hibernate.c:(.text+0x291): undefined reference to `cpuhp_smt_enable'
hibernate.c:(.text+0x29c): undefined reference to `cpuhp_smt_disable'

Move the exported functions out of the #ifdef section into its
own with the correct conditions.

The patch that caused this is marked for stable backports, so
this one may need to be backported as well.

Paul reported a very sporadic, rcutorture induced, workqueue failure.
When the planets align, the workqueue rescuer's self-migrate fails and
then triggers a WARN for running a work on the wrong CPU.

Tejun then figured that set_cpus_allowed_ptr()'s stop_one_cpu() call
could be ignored! When stopper-&gt;enabled is false, stop_machine will
insta complete the work, without actually doing the work. Worse, it
will not WARN about this (we really should fix this).

It turns out there is a small window where a freshly online'ed CPU is
marked 'online' but doesn't yet have the stopper task running:

	BP				AP

	bringup_cpu()
	  __cpu_up(cpu, idle)	 --&gt;	start_secondary()
					...
					cpu_startup_entry()
	  bringup_wait_for_ap()
	    wait_for_ap_thread() &lt;--	  cpuhp_online_idle()
					  while (1)
					    do_idle()

					... available to run kthreads ...

	    stop_machine_unpark()
	      stopper-&gt;enable = true;

Close this by moving the stop_machine_unpark() into
cpuhp_online_idle(), such that the stopper thread is ready before we
start the idle loop and schedule.

A kernel module may need to check the value of the "mitigations=" kernel
command line parameter as part of its setup when the module needs
to perform software mitigations for a CPU flaw.

Uninline and export the helper functions surrounding the cpu_mitigations
enum to allow for their usage from a module.

Lastly, privatize the enum and cpu_mitigations variable since the value of
cpu_mitigations can be checked with the exported helper functions.

KVM needs to know if SMT is theoretically possible, this means it is
supported and not forcefully disabled ('nosmt=force'). Create and
export cpu_smt_possible() answering this question.

<title>cpu/hotplug: Cache number of online CPUs</title>

Re-evaluating the bitmap wheight of the online cpus bitmap in every
invocation of num_online_cpus() over and over is a pretty useless
exercise. Especially when num_online_cpus() is used in code paths
like the IPI delivery of x86 or the membarrier code.

Cache the number of online CPUs in the core and just return the cached
variable. The accessor function provides only a snapshot when used without
protection against concurrent CPU hotplug.

The storage needs to use an atomic_t because the kexec and reboot code
(ab)use set_cpu_online() in their 'shutdown' handlers without any form of
serialization as pointed out by Mathieu. Regular CPU hotplug usage is
properly serialized.

<title>smp/hotplug: Track booted once CPUs in a cpumask</title>

<content type='text'>
The booted once information which is required to deal with the MCE
broadcast issue on X86 correctly is stored in the per cpu hotplug state,
which is perfectly fine for the intended purpose.

X86 needs that information for supporting NMI broadcasting via shortcuts,
but retrieving it from per cpu data is cumbersome.

Move it to a cpumask so the information can be checked against the
cpu_present_mask quickly.

No functional change intended.
