ACPI: processor: Fix CPU0 wakeup in acpi_idle_play_dead()
Commit 496121c0 ("ACPI: processor: idle: Allow probing on platforms with one ACPI C-state") broke CPU0 hotplug on certain systems, e.g. I'm observing the following on AWS Nitro (e.g r5b.xlarge but other instance types are affected as well): # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online <10 seconds delay> -bash: echo: write error: Input/output error In fact, the above mentioned commit only revealed the problem and did not introduce it. On x86, to wakeup CPU an NMI is being used and hlt_play_dead()/mwait_play_dead() loops are prepared to handle it: /* * If NMI wants to wake up CPU0, start CPU0. */ if (wakeup_cpu0()) start_cpu0(); cpuidle_play_dead() -> acpi_idle_play_dead() (which is now being called on systems where it wasn't called before the above mentioned commit) serves the same purpose but it doesn't have a path for CPU0. What happens now on wakeup is: - NMI is sent to CPU0 - wakeup_cpu0_nmi() works as expected - we get back to while (1) loop in acpi_idle_play_dead() - safe_halt() puts CPU0 to sleep again. The straightforward/minimal fix is add the special handling for CPU0 on x86 and that's what the patch is doing.
