From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.7-rc1 commit d91bdd96b55cc3ce98d883a60f133713821b80a6 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I9NZ3E Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- The SMT control mechanism got added as speculation attack vector mitigation. The implemented logic relies on the primary thread mask to be set up properly. This turns out to be an issue with XEN/PV guests because their CPU hotplug mechanics do not enumerate APICs and therefore the mask is never correctly populated. This went unnoticed so far because by chance XEN/PV ends up with smp_num_siblings == 2. So smt_hotplug_control stays at its default value CPU_SMT_ENABLED and the primary thread mask is never evaluated in the context of CPU hotplug. This stopped "working" with the upcoming overhaul of the topology evaluation which legitimately provides a fake topology for XEN/PV. That sets smp_num_siblings to 1, which causes the core CPU hot-plug core to refuse to bring up the APs. This happens because smt_hotplug_control is set to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED which causes cpu_smt_allowed() to evaluate the unpopulated primary thread mask with the conclusion that all non-boot CPUs are not valid to be plugged. Make cpu_smt_allowed() more robust and take CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED and CPU_SMT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED into account. Rename it to cpu_bootable() while at it as that makes it more clear what the function is about. The primary mask issue on x86 XEN/PV needs to be addressed separately as there are users outside of the CPU hotplug code too.
