Pull SMP/hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A small set of updates for SMP and CPU hotplug:

   - Abort disabling secondary CPUs in the freezer when a wakeup is
     pending instead of evaluating it only after all CPUs have been
     offlined.

   - Remove the shared annotation for the strict per CPU cfd_data in the
     smp function call core code.

   - Remove the return values of smp_call_function() and on_each_cpu()
     as they are unconditionally 0. Fixup the few callers which actually
     bothered to check the return value"

Setting invalid value to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/hotplug/fail
can control `struct cpuhp_step *sp` address, results in the following
global-out-of-bounds read.

Currently, if the user specifies an unsupported mitigation strategy on the
kernel command line, it will be ignored silently.  The code will fall back
to the default strategy, possibly leaving the system more vulnerable than
expected.

This may happen due to e.g. a simple typo, or, for a stable kernel release,
because not all mitigation strategies have been backported.

Inform the user by printing a message.

<title>cpu/hotplug: Abort disabling secondary CPUs if wakeup is pending</title>

<content type='text'>
When "deep" suspend is enabled, all CPUs except the primary CPU are frozen
via CPU hotplug one by one. After all secondary CPUs are unplugged the
wakeup pending condition is evaluated and if pending the suspend operation
is aborted and the secondary CPUs are brought up again.

CPU hotplug is a slow operation, so it makes sense to check for wakeup
pending in the freezer loop before bringing down the next CPU. This
improves the system suspend abort latency significantly.

<title>x86/power: Fix 'nosmt' vs hibernation triple fault during resume</title>
<updated>2019-06-03T10:02:03Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:ec527c318036a65a083ef68d8ba95789d2212246</id>
<content type='text'>
As explained in

	0cc3cd21657b ("cpu/hotplug: Boot HT siblings at least once")

we always, no matter what, have to bring up x86 HT siblings during boot at
least once in order to avoid first MCE bringing the system to its knees.

That means that whenever 'nosmt' is supplied on the kernel command-line,
all the HT siblings are as a result sitting in mwait or cpudile after
going through the online-offline cycle at least once.

This causes a serious issue though when a kernel, which saw 'nosmt' on its
commandline, is going to perform resume from hibernation: if the resume
from the hibernated image is successful, cr3 is flipped in order to point
to the address space of the kernel that is being resumed, which in turn
means that all the HT siblings are all of a sudden mwaiting on address
which is no longer valid.

That results in triple fault shortly after cr3 is switched, and machine
reboots.

Fix this by always waking up all the SMT siblings before initiating the
'restore from hibernation' process; this guarantees that all the HT
siblings will be properly carried over to the resumed kernel waiting in
resume_play_dead(), and acted upon accordingly afterwards, based on the
target kernel configuration.

Symmetricaly, the resumed kernel has to push the SMT siblings to mwait
again in case it has SMT disabled; this means it has to online all
the siblings when resuming (so that they come out of hlt) and offline
them again to let them reach mwait.
