* We check whether all boot CPUs have their TSC's synchronized,

*
* The warp-check is point-to-point between two CPUs, the CPU
* initiating the bootup is the 'source CPU', the freshly booting
* CPU is the 'target CPU'.
*
* Only two CPUs may participate - they can enter in any order.
* ( The serial nature of the boot logic and the CPU hotplug lock

x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

x86/tsc: Reduce the TSC sync check time for core-siblings For each logical CPU that is coming online, we spend 20msec for checking the TSC synchronization. And as this is done sequentially for each logical CPU boot, this time gets added up depending on the number of logical CPU's supported by the platform. Minimize this by using the socket topology information. If the target CPU coming online doesn't have any of its core-siblings online, a timeout of 20msec will be used for the TSC-warp measurement loop. Otherwise a smaller timeout of 2msec will be used, as we have some information about this socket already (and this information grows as we have more and more logical-siblings in that socket). Ideally we should be able to skip the TSC sync check on the other core-siblings, if the first logical CPU in a socket passed the sync test. But as the TSC is per-logical CPU and can potentially be modified wrongly by the bios before the OS boot, TSC sync test for smaller duration should be able to catch such errors. Also this will catch the condition where all the cores in the socket doesn't get reset at the same time. For example, with this modification, time spent in TSC sync checks on a 4 socket 10-core with HT system gets reduced from 1580msec to 212msec.

x86/tsc: Reduce the TSC sync check time for core-siblings For each logical CPU that is coming online, we spend 20msec for checking the TSC synchronization. And as this is done sequentially for each logical CPU boot, this time gets added up depending on the number of logical CPU's supported by the platform. Minimize this by using the socket topology information. If the target CPU coming online doesn't have any of its core-siblings online, a timeout of 20msec will be used for the TSC-warp measurement loop. Otherwise a smaller timeout of 2msec will be used, as we have some information about this socket already (and this information grows as we have more and more logical-siblings in that socket). Ideally we should be able to skip the TSC sync check on the other core-siblings, if the first logical CPU in a socket passed the sync test. But as the TSC is per-logical CPU and can potentially be modified wrongly by the bios before the OS boot, TSC sync test for smaller duration should be able to catch such errors. Also this will catch the condition where all the cores in the socket doesn't get reset at the same time. For example, with this modification, time spent in TSC sync checks on a 4 socket 10-core with HT system gets reduced from 1580msec to 212msec.
