This patch set is to allow kdump 2nd kernel to wake up multiple CPUs
even if 1st kernel crashs on some AP.
Sorry, this patch set have not include in-source documentation
requested by Borislav Petkov yet, but I'll post it later separately,
which would be better to focus on documentation reviewing.
ChangeLog
v2 => v3)
- Change default value of boot_cpu_is_bsp to true.
- Before executing rdmsr(MSR_IA32_APICBASE), check if the number of
processor family is larger than or equal to 6 in order to avoid
invalid opcode exception on processors where MSR_IA32_APICBASE is
not supported.
v1 => v2)
- Rebased on top of v3.12-rc5.
- Fix linking time error of boot_cpu_is_bsp_init() in case of
CONFIG_LOCAL_APIC disabled by adding empty static inline function
instead.
- Fix missing feature check by means of cpu_has_apic macro in
boot_cpu_is_bsp_init() before calling rdmsr_safe(MSR_IA32_APICBASE).
NOTE: I've checked local apic-present case only; I don't have any
x86 processor without local apic.
- Add __init annotation to boot_cpu_is_bsp_init().
Test
- built with and without CONFIG_LOCAL_APIC
- tested x86_64 in case of acpi and MP table
