o Revert the other functional half of r239864, i. e. the merge of r134227 from x86 to use smp_ipi_mtx spin lock not only for smp_rendezvous_cpus() but also for the MD cache invalidation, TLB demapping and remote register reading IPIs due to the following reasons: - The cross-IPI SMP deadlock x86 otherwise is subject to can't happen on sparc64. That's because on sparc64, spin locks don't disable interrupts completely but only raise the processor interrupt level to PIL_TICK. This means that IPIs still get delivered and direct dispatch IPIs such as the cache invalidation etc. IPIs in question are still executed. - In smp_rendezvous_cpus(), smp_ipi_mtx is held not only while sending an IPI_RENDEZVOUS, but until all CPUs have processed smp_rendezvous_action(). Consequently, smp_ipi_mtx may be locked for an extended amount of time as queued IPIs (as opposed to the direct ones) such as IPI_RENDEZVOUS are scheduled via a soft interrupt. Moreover, given that this soft interrupt is only delivered at PIL_RENDEZVOUS, processing of smp_rendezvous_action() on a target may be interrupted by f. e. a tick interrupt at PIL_TICK, in turn leading to the target in question trying to send an IPI by itself while IPI_RENDEZVOUS isn't fully handled, yet, and, thus, resulting in a deadlock. o As mentioned in the commit message of r245850, on least some sun4u platforms concurrent sending of IPIs by different CPUs is fatal. Therefore, hold the reintroduced MD ipi_mtx also while delivering cross-traps via MI helpers, i. e. ipi_{all_but_self,cpu,selected}(). o Akin to x86, let the last CPU to process cpu_mp_bootstrap() set smp_started instead of the BSP in cpu_mp_unleash(). This ensures that all APs actually are started, when smp_started is no longer 0. o In all MD and MI IPI helpers, check for smp_started == 1 rather than for smp_cpus > 1 or nothing at all. This avoids races during boot causing IPIs trying to be delivered to APs that in fact aren't up and running, yet. While at it, move setting of the cpu_ipi_{selected,single}() pointers to the appropriate delivery functions from mp_init() to cpu_mp_start() where it's better suited and allows to get rid of the global isjbus variable. o Given that now concurrent IPI delivery no longer is possible, also nuke the delays before completely disabling interrupts again in the CPU-specific cross-trap delivery functions, previously giving other CPUs a window for sending IPIs on their part. Actually, we now should be able to entirely get rid of completely disabling interrupts in these functions. Such a change needs more testing, though. o In {s,}tick_get_timecount_mp(), make the {s,}tick variable static. While not necessary for correctness, this avoids page faults when accessing the stack of a foreign CPU as {s,}tick now is locked into the TLBs as part of static kernel data. Hence, {s,}tick_get_timecount_mp() always execute as fast as possible, avoiding jitter. PR: 201245
