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"

 In such cases you will also notice that the online file is missing under cpu0.
 
+Q: Is CPU0 removable on X86?
+A: Yes. If kernel is compiled with CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0=y, CPU0 is
+removable by default. Otherwise, CPU0 is also removable by kernel option
+cpu0_hotplug.
+
+But some features depend on CPU0. Two known dependencies are:
+
+1. Resume from hibernate/suspend depends on CPU0. Hibernate/suspend will fail if
+CPU0 is offline and you need to online CPU0 before hibernate/suspend can
+continue.
+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 any poweroff/reboot failure so far after CPU0 is offline on a few tested
+machines.
+
+Please let me know if you know or see any other dependencies of CPU0.

+If the dependencies are under your control, you can turn on CPU0 hotplug feature
+either by CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 or by kernel parameter cpu0_hotplug.

 Q: How do i find out if a particular CPU is not removable?
