Thomas Gleixner 9cab5fb776 x86/apic: Provide apic_force_nmi_on_cpu()
When SMT siblings are soft-offlined and parked in one of the play_dead()
variants they still react on NMI, which is problematic on affected Intel
CPUs. The default play_dead() variant uses MWAIT on modern CPUs, which is
not guaranteed to be safe when updated concurrently.

Right now late loading is prevented when not all SMT siblings are online,
but as they still react on NMI, it is possible to bring them out of their
park position into a trivial rendezvous handler.

Provide a function which allows to do that. I does sanity checks whether
the target is in the cpus_booted_once_mask and whether the APIC driver
supports it.

Mark X2APIC and XAPIC as capable, but exclude 32bit and the UV and NUMACHIP
variants as that needs feedback from the relevant experts.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
