So there's the full CPU init path down cpu_up() -> ... -> identify_cpu() where mcheck_cpu_init() is called and then there's also the hotplug callbacks in mce_cpu_callback(). What you're proposing now is, merge the two. But then the full path down identify_cpu() could still do mheck_cpu_init() regardless where you move it. IOW, I still don't see why this change is needed. In more OW, why can't you simply do: err = cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_X86_MCE_STARTING, "x86/mce:starting", mce_reenable_cpu, NULL); and use the current notifier callback? I still don't get the need for this churn. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. Good mailing practices for 400: avoid top-posting and trim the reply.
