If stop_machine() invoked while one of onlined cpu is locked up by some reason, stop_machine cannot finish its work because the locked cpu cannot stop. This means all other healthy cpus will be blocked infinitely by one dead cpu. This patch allows stop_machine to return -EBUSY with some printk messages if any of stop_machine's threads cannot start running on its target cpu in time. You can

Some time ago commit 57f2ffe14fd125c2 ("s390: remove diag 44 calls from cpu_relax()") did stop cpu_relax on s390 yielding to the hypervisor. As it turns out this made stop_machine run really slow on virtualized overcommited systems. For example the kprobes test during bootup took several seconds instead of just running unnoticed with large guests. Therefore, the yielding was

Peter, here is v2 with some improved patch descriptions and some fixes. The previous version has survived one day of linux-next and I only changed small parts. So unless there is some other issue, feel free to pull (or to apply the patches) to tip/locking. The following changes since commit 07d9a380680d1c0eb51ef87ff2eab5c994949e69: Linux 4.9-rc2 (2016-10-23 17:10:14 -0700) are available in

Patch 1 removes CONFIG_SMP Patch 2 removes separate smp_{,r,w}mb()s as a result of patch 1 Patch 4 removes __ia64__ defines from the x86 arch tree Patch 3 is related to patch 4 and changes the VIOAPIC to emulate version 0x20 as a performance gain. It preceeds Patch 4 so as to be more clear about the functional change. Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
