[patch V2 05/38] x86/topology: Remove CPU0 hotplug option
Thomas Gleixner
tglx at linutronix.de
Thu May 4 12:02:06 PDT 2023
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx at linutronix.de>
This was introduced together with commit e1c467e69040 ("x86, hotplug: Wake
up CPU0 via NMI instead of INIT, SIPI, SIPI") to eventually support
physical hotplug of CPU0:
"We'll change this code in the future to wake up hard offlined CPU0 if
real platform and request are available."
11 years later this has not happened and physical hotplug is not officially
supported. Remove the cruft.

- cpu0_hotplug [X86] Turn on CPU0 hotplug feature when
- CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is off.
- Some features depend on CPU0. Known dependencies are:
- 1. Resume from suspend/hibernate depends on CPU0.
- Suspend/hibernate will fail if CPU0 is offline and you
- need to online CPU0 before suspend/hibernate.
- 2. PIC interrupts also depend on CPU0. CPU0 can't be
- removed if a PIC interrupt is detected.
- It's said poweroff/reboot may depend on CPU0 on some
- machines although I haven't seen such issues so far
- after CPU0 is offline on a few tested machines.
- If the dependencies are under your control, you can
- turn on cpu0_hotplug.

-
- First, resume from hibernate or suspend always starts from CPU0.
- So hibernate and suspend are prevented if CPU0 is offline.
-
- Second dependency is PIC interrupts always go to CPU0. CPU0 can not
- offline if any interrupt can not migrate out of CPU0. There may

-
- Please make sure the dependencies are under your control before

- Say N if you don't want to enable CPU0 hotplug feature by default.
- You still can enable the CPU0 hotplug feature at boot by kernel
