[PATCH 6.3 04/29] x86/smp: Make stop_other_cpus() more robust

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 1f5e7eb7868e42227ac426c96d437117e6e06e8e upstream.

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.
