Doing INIT/SIPI/SIPI in parallel brings down the time for smpboot from ~700ms to 100ms (85% improvement) on a server with 128 CPUs split across 2 NUMA nodes. The parallel CPU bringup is disabled for all AMD CPUs in this version: (see discussions: https://lore.kernel.org/all/bc3f2b1332c4bb77558df8aa36493a55542fe5b9.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ and https://lore.kernel.org/all/3b6ac86fdc800cac5806433daf14a9095be101e9.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/). The last patch reuses the timer calibration from CPU 0 for secondary CPUs which brings down the time for parallel smpboot from 100ms to 30ms. It is missing a sign-off from the author, which hopefully Arjan will add. Changes across versions: v2: Cut it back to just INIT/SIPI/SIPI in parallel for now, nothing more v3: Clean up x2apic patch, add MTRR optimisation, lock topology update in preparation for more parallelisation. v4: Fixes to the real mode parallelisation patch spotted by SeanC, to avoid scribbling on initial_gs in common_cpu_up(), and to allow all 24 bits of the physical X2APIC ID to be used. That patch still needs a Signed-off-by from its original author, who once claimed not to remember writing it at all. But now we've fixed it, hopefully he'll admit it now :) v5: rebase to v6.1 and remeasure performance, disable parallel bringup for AMD CPUs. v6: rebase to v6.2-rc6, disabled parallel boot on amd as a cpu bug and reused timer calibration for secondary CPUs.
