[PATCH v2 1/5] x86/shutdown: offline APs with interrupts disabled on all CPUs



The current shutdown logic in smp_send_stop() will disable the APs while
having interrupts enabled on the BSP or possibly other APs. On AMD systems
this can lead to local APIC errors:

APIC error on CPU0: 00(08), Receive accept error

Such error message can be printed in a loop, thus blocking the system from
rebooting.  I assume this loop is created by the error being triggered by
the console interrupt, which is further stirred by the ESR handler
printing to the console.

Intel SDM states:

"Receive Accept Error.

Set when the local APIC detects that the message it received was not
accepted by any APIC on the APIC bus, including itself. Used only on P6
family and Pentium processors."

So the error shouldn't trigger on any Intel CPU supported by Xen.

However AMD doesn't make such claims, and indeed the error is broadcasted
to all local APICs when an interrupt targets a CPU that's already offline.

To prevent the error from stalling the shutdown process perform the
disabling of APs and the BSP local APIC with interrupts disabled on all
CPUs in the system, so that by the time interrupts are unmasked on the BSP
the local APIC is already disabled.  This can still lead to a spurious:

APIC error on CPU0: 00(00)

As a result of an LVT Error getting injected while interrupts are masked on
the CPU, and the vector only handled after the local APIC is already
disabled.

Note the NMI crash path doesn't have such issue, because disabling of APs
and the caller local APIC is already done in the same contiguous region
with interrupts disabled.  There's a possible window on the NMI crash path
(nmi_shootdown_cpus()) where some APs might be disabled (and thus
interrupts targeting them raising "Receive accept error") before others APs
have interrupts disabled.  However the shutdown NMI will be handled,
regardless of whether the AP is processing a local APIC error, and hence
such interrupts will not cause the shutdown process to get stuck.

Remove the call to fixup_irqs() in smp_send_stop(), as it doesn't achieve
the intended goal of moving all interrupts to the BSP anyway, because when
called the APs are still set as online in cpu_online_map.

Changes since v1:
 - Change the approach and instead rely on having interrupts uniformly
   disabled when offlining APs.
