Thomas Gleixner f042d80a63 x86/smp: Use dedicated cache-line for mwait_play_dead()
commit f9c9987bf52f4e42e940ae217333ebb5a4c3b506 upstream.

Monitoring idletask::thread_info::flags in mwait_play_dead() has been an
obvious choice as all what is needed is a cache line which is not written
by other CPUs.

But there is a use case where a "dead" CPU needs to be brought out of
MWAIT: kexec().

This is required as kexec() can overwrite text, pagetables, stacks and the
monitored cacheline of the original kernel. The latter causes MWAIT to
resume execution which obviously causes havoc on the kexec kernel which
results usually in triple faults.

Use a dedicated per CPU storage to prepare for that.

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.
