[Xen-devel] [PATCH 5/8] x86: bring up all CPUs even if not all are supposed to be used

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Reportedly Intel CPUs which can't broadcast #MC to all targeted
cores/threads because some have CR4.MCE clear will shut down. Therefore
we want to keep CR4.MCE enabled when offlining a CPU, and we need to
bring up all CPUs in order to be able to set CR4.MCE in the first place.

The use of clear_in_cr4() in cpu_mcheck_disable() was ill advised
anyway, and to avoid future similar mistakes I'm removing clear_in_cr4()
altogether right here.

Instead of fully bringing up CPUs and then calling cpu_down(), another
option would be to suppress/cancel full bringup in smp_callin().
---
Note: The parked CPUs can be brought online (i.e. the meaning of
      "maxcpus=" isn't as strict anymore as it was before), but won't
      immediately be used for scheduling pre-existing Dom0 CPUs. That's
      because dom0_setup_vcpu() artifically restricts the affinity. For
      DomU-s whose affinity was not artifically restricted, no such
      limitation exists, albeit the shown "soft" affinity appears to
      suffer a similar issue. As that's not a goal of this patch, I've
      put the issues on the side for now, perhaps for someone else to
      take care of.
Note: On one of my test systems the parked CPUs get _PSD data reported
      by Dom0 that is different from the non-parked ones (coord_type is
      0xFC instead of 0xFE). Giving Dom0 enough vCPU-s eliminates this
      problem, so there is apparently something amiss in the processor
      driver. I've tried to figure out what, but I couldn't, despite the
      AML suggesting that this might be some _OSC invocation (but if it
      is, I can't find it - acpi_run_osc() clearly does not anywhere get
      invoked in a per-CPU fashion).
