Merge branch 'x86-bsp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 BSP hotplug changes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree enables CPU#0 (the boot processor) to be onlined/offlined on
x86, just like any other CPU. Enabled on Intel CPUs for now.
Allowing this required the identification and fixing of latent CPU#0
assumptions (such as CPU#0 initializations, etc.) in the x86
architecture code, plus the identification of barriers to
BSP-offlining, such as active PIC interrupts which can only be
serviced on the BSP.
It's behind a default-off option, and there's a debug option that
allows the automatic testing of this feature.
The motivation of this feature is to allow and prepare for true
CPU-hotplug hardware support: recent changes to MCE support enable us
to detect a deteriorating but not yet hard-failing L1/L2 cache on a
CPU that could be soft-unplugged - or a failing L3 cache on a
multi-socket system.
Note that true hardware hot-plug is not yet fully enabled by this,
because that requires a special platform wakeup sequence to be sent to
the freshly powered up CPU#0. Future patches for this are planned,
once such a platform exists. Chicken and egg"
