In order to facilitate parallel startup, start to eliminate some of the global variables passing information to CPUs in the startup path. However, start by introducing one more: smpboot_control. For now this merely holds the CPU# of the CPU which is coming up. Each CPU can then find its own per-cpu data, and everything else it needs can be found from there, allowing the other global variables to be removed. First to be removed is initial_stack. Each CPU can load %rsp from its current_task->thread.sp instead. That is already set up with the correct idle thread for APs. Set up the .sp field in INIT_THREAD on x86 so that the BSP also finds a suitable stack pointer in the static per-cpu data when coming up on first boot. On resume from S3, the CPU needs a temporary stack because its idle task is already active. Instead of setting initial_stack, the sleep code can simply set its own current->thread.sp to point to the temporary stack. Nobody else cares about ->thread.sp for a thread which is currently on a CPU, because the true value is actually in the %rsp register. Which is restored with the rest of the CPU context in do_suspend_lowlevel().

README
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.
