x86/smp: Make stop_other_cpus() more robust
Tony reported intermittent lockups on poweroff. His analysis identified the wbinvd() in stop_this_cpu() as the culprit. This was added to ensure that on SME enabled machines a kexec() does not leave any stale data in the caches when switching from encrypted to non-encrypted mode or vice versa. That wbinvd() is conditional on the SME feature bit which is read directly from CPUID. But that readout does not check whether the CPUID leaf is available or not. If it's not available the CPU will return the value of the highest supported leaf instead. Depending on the content the "SME" bit might be set or not. That's incorrect but harmless. Making the CPUID readout conditional makes the observed hangs go away, but it does not fix the underlying problem: CPU0 CPU1 stop_other_cpus() send_IPIs(REBOOT); stop_this_cpu() while (num_online_cpus() > 1); set_online(false); proceed... -> hang wbinvd() WBINVD is an expensive operation and if multiple CPUs issue it at the same time the resulting delays are even larger. But CPU0 already observed num_online_cpus() going down to 1 and proceeds which causes the system to hang. This issue exists independent of WBINVD, but the delays caused by WBINVD make it more prominent. Make this more robust by adding a cpumask which is initialized to the online CPU mask before sending the IPIs and CPUs clear their bit in stop_this_cpu() after the WBINVD completed. Check for that cpumask to become empty in stop_other_cpus() instead of watching num_online_cpus(). The cpumask cannot plug all holes either, but it's better than a raw counter and allows to restrict the NMI fallback IPI to be sent only the CPUs which have not reported within the timeout window.
