Use cpu_relax() in the busy loops, as atomic_read() doesn't automatically imply volatility for i386 and x86_64. x86_64 doesn't have this issue because it open-codes the while loop in smpboot.c:smp_callin() itself that already uses cpu_relax(). For i386, however, smpboot.c:smp_callin() calls wait_for_init_deassert() which is buggy for mach-default and mach-es7000 cases. [ I test-built a kernel -- smp_callin() itself got inlined in its only callsite, smpboot.c:start_secondary() -- and the relevant piece of code disassembles to the following: 0xc1019704 <start_secondary+12>: mov 0xc144c4c8,%eax 0xc1019709 <start_secondary+17>: test %eax,%eax 0xc101970b <start_secondary+19>: je 0xc1019709 <start_secondary+17> init_deasserted (at 0xc144c4c8) gets fetched into %eax only once and then we loop over the test of the stale value in the register only, so these look like real bugs to me. With the fix below, this becomes: 0xc1019706 <start_secondary+14>: pause 0xc1019708 <start_secondary+16>: cmpl $0x0,0xc144c4c8 0xc101970f <start_secondary+23>: je 0xc1019706 <start_secondary+14> which looks nice and healthy. ] Thanks to Heiko Carstens for noticing this.
