Linus Torvalds 74b8423345 Merge branch 'x86-bsp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 BSP hotplug changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree enables CPU#0 (the boot processor) to be onlined/offlined on
  x86, just like any other CPU.  Enabled on Intel CPUs for now.

  Allowing this required the identification and fixing of latent CPU#0
  assumptions (such as CPU#0 initializations, etc.) in the x86
  architecture code, plus the identification of barriers to
  BSP-offlining, such as active PIC interrupts which can only be
  serviced on the BSP.

  It's behind a default-off option, and there's a debug option that
  allows the automatic testing of this feature.

  The motivation of this feature is to allow and prepare for true
  CPU-hotplug hardware support: recent changes to MCE support enable us
  to detect a deteriorating but not yet hard-failing L1/L2 cache on a
  CPU that could be soft-unplugged - or a failing L3 cache on a
  multi-socket system.

  Note that true hardware hot-plug is not yet fully enabled by this,
  because that requires a special platform wakeup sequence to be sent to
  the freshly powered up CPU#0.  Future patches for this are planned,
  once such a platform exists.  Chicken and egg"
