+		less than 1 jiffy, it is considered to be 0, which means

+
+I. How does the regular CPU hotplug code differ from how the Suspend-to-RAM
+   infrastructure uses it internally? And where do they share common code?
+
+Well, a picture is worth a thousand words... So ASCII art follows :-)
+
+[This depicts the current design in the kernel, and focusses only on the
+interactions involving the freezer and CPU hotplug and also tries to explain
+the locking involved. It outlines the notifications involved as well.
+But please note that here, only the call paths are illustrated, with the aim
+of describing where they take different paths and where they share code.
+What happens when regular CPU hotplug and Suspend-to-RAM race with each other
+is not depicted here.]

+On a high level, the suspend-resume cycle goes like this:

+
+
+So, as can be seen from the two diagrams (the parts marked as "Common code"),
+regular CPU hotplug and the suspend code path converge at the _cpu_down() and
+_cpu_up() functions. They differ in the arguments passed to these functions,
+in that during regular CPU hotplug, 0 is passed for the 'tasks_frozen'
+argument. But during suspend, since the tasks are already frozen by the time
+the non-boot CPUs are offlined or onlined, the _cpu_*() functions are called
+with the 'tasks_frozen' argument set to 1.
+[See below for some known issues regarding this.]

+
+II. What are the issues involved in CPU hotplug?
+    -------------------------------------------
+
+There are some interesting situations involving CPU hotplug and microcode
+update on the CPUs, as discussed below:
+
+[Please bear in mind that the kernel requests the microcode images from
+userspace, using the request_firmware() function defined in
+drivers/base/firmware_class.c]
+
+
+a. When all the CPUs are identical:
+
+   This is the most common situation and it is quite straightforward: we want
+   to apply the same microcode revision to each of the CPUs.
+   To give an example of x86, the collect_cpu_info() function defined in
+   arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c helps in discovering the type of the CPU
+   and thereby in applying the correct microcode revision to it.
+   But note that the kernel does not maintain a common microcode image for the
+   all CPUs, in order to handle case 'b' described below.
+
+
+b. When some of the CPUs are different than the rest:
+
+   In this case since we probably need to apply different microcode revisions
+   to different CPUs, the kernel maintains a copy of the correct microcode
+   image for each CPU (after appropriate CPU type/model discovery using
+   functions such as collect_cpu_info()).
+
+
+c. When a CPU is physically hot-unplugged and a new (and possibly different
+   type of) CPU is hot-plugged into the system:
+
+   In the current design of the kernel, whenever a CPU is taken offline during
+   a regular CPU hotplug operation, upon receiving the CPU_DEAD notification
+   (which is sent by the CPU hotplug code), the microcode update driver's
+   callback for that event reacts by freeing the kernel's copy of the
+   microcode image for that CPU.
+
+   Hence, when a new CPU is brought online, since the kernel finds that it
+   doesn't have the microcode image, it does the CPU type/model discovery
+   afresh and then requests the userspace for the appropriate microcode image
+   for that CPU, which is subsequently applied.
+
+   For example, in x86, the mc_cpu_callback() function (which is the microcode
+   update driver's callback registered for CPU hotplug events) calls
+   microcode_update_cpu() which would call microcode_init_cpu() in this case,
+   instead of microcode_resume_cpu() when it finds that the kernel doesn't
+   have a valid microcode image. This ensures that the CPU type/model
+   discovery is performed and the right microcode is applied to the CPU after
+   getting it from userspace.
+
+
+d. Handling microcode update during suspend/hibernate:
+
+   Strictly speaking, during a CPU hotplug operation which does not involve
+   physically removing or inserting CPUs, the CPUs are not actually powered
+   off during a CPU offline. They are just put to the lowest C-states possible.
+   Hence, in such a case, it is not really necessary to re-apply microcode
+   when the CPUs are brought back online, since they wouldn't have lost the
+   image during the CPU offline operation.
+
+   This is the usual scenario encountered during a resume after a suspend.
+   However, in the case of hibernation, since all the CPUs are completely
+   powered off, during restore it becomes necessary to apply the microcode
+   images to all the CPUs.
+
+   [Note that we don't expect someone to physically pull out nodes and insert
+   nodes with a different type of CPUs in-between a suspend-resume or a
+   hibernate/restore cycle.]
+
+   In the current design of the kernel however, during a CPU offline operation
+   as part of the suspend/hibernate cycle (the CPU_DEAD_FROZEN notification),
+   the existing copy of microcode image in the kernel is not freed up.
+   And during the CPU online operations (during resume/restore), since the
+   kernel finds that it already has copies of the microcode images for all the
+   CPUs, it just applies them to the CPUs, avoiding any re-discovery of CPU
+   type/model and the need for validating whether the microcode revisions are
+   right for the CPUs or not (due to the above assumption that physical CPU
+   hotplug will not be done in-between suspend/resume or hibernate/restore
+   cycles).
+
+
+III. Are there any known problems when regular CPU hotplug and suspend race
+     with each other?
+
+Yes, they are listed below:
+
+1. When invoking regular CPU hotplug, the 'tasks_frozen' argument passed to
+   the _cpu_down() and _cpu_up() functions is *always* 0.
+   This might not reflect the true current state of the system, since the
+   tasks could have been frozen by an out-of-band event such as a suspend
+   operation in progress. Hence, it will lead to wrong notifications being
+   sent during the cpu online/offline events (eg, CPU_ONLINE notification
+   instead of CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN) which in turn will lead to execution of
+   inappropriate code by the callbacks registered for such CPU hotplug events.
+
+2. If a regular CPU hotplug stress test happens to race with the freezer due
+   to a suspend operation in progress at the same time, then we could hit the
+   situation described below:
+
+    * A regular cpu online operation continues its journey from userspace
+      into the kernel, since the freezing has not yet begun.
+    * Then freezer gets to work and freezes userspace.
+    * If cpu online has not yet completed the microcode update stuff by now,
+      it will now start waiting on the frozen userspace in the
+      TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state, in order to get the microcode image.
+    * Now the freezer continues and tries to freeze the remaining tasks. But
+      due to this wait mentioned above, the freezer won't be able to freeze
+      the cpu online hotplug task and hence freezing of tasks fails.
+
+   As a result of this task freezing failure, the suspend operation gets
+   aborted.
