commit 8cdddd182bd7befae6af49c5fd612893f55d6ccb upstream.
Commit 496121c02127 ("ACPI: processor: idle: Allow probing on platforms
with one ACPI C-state") broke CPU0 hotplug on certain systems, e.g.
I'm observing the following on AWS Nitro (e.g r5b.xlarge but other
instance types are affected as well):
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
<10 seconds delay>
-bash: echo: write error: Input/output error
In fact, the above mentioned commit only revealed the problem and did
not introduce it. On x86, to wakeup CPU an NMI is being used and
hlt_play_dead()/mwait_play_dead() loops are prepared to handle it:
/*
* If NMI wants to wake up CPU0, start CPU0.
*/
if (wakeup_cpu0())
start_cpu0();
cpuidle_play_dead() -> acpi_idle_play_dead() (which is now being called on
systems where it wasn't called before the above mentioned commit) serves
the same purpose but it doesn't have a path for CPU0. What happens now on
wakeup is:
- NMI is sent to CPU0
- wakeup_cpu0_nmi() works as expected
- we get back to while (1) loop in acpi_idle_play_dead()
- safe_halt() puts CPU0 to sleep again.
The straightforward/minimal fix is add the special handling for CPU0 on x86
and that's what the patch is doing.
