x86: fix app crashes after SMP resume
After resume on a 2cpu laptop, kernel builds collapse with a sed hang, sh or make segfault (often on 20295564), real-time signal to cc1 etc. Several hurdles to jump, but a manually-assisted bisect led to -rc1's d2bcbad5f3ad38a1c09861bca7e252dde7bb8259 x86: do not zap_low_mappings in __smp_prepare_cpus. Though the low mappings were removed at bootup, they were left behind (with Global flags helping to keep them in TLB) after resume or cpu online, causing the crashes seen. Reinstate zap_low_mappings (with local __flush_tlb_all) for each cpu_up on x86_32. This used to be serialized by smp_commenced_mask: that's now gone, but a low_mappings flag will do. No need for native_smp_cpus_done to repeat the zap: let mem_init zap BSP's low mappings just like on UP. (In passing, fix error code from native_cpu_up: do_boot_cpu returns a variety of diagnostic values, Dprintk what it says but convert to -EIO. And save_pg_dir separately before zap_low_mappings: doesn't matter now, but zapping twice in succession wiped out resume's swsusp_pg_dir.) That worked well on the duo and one quad, but wouldn't boot 3rd or 4th cpu on P4 Xeon, oopsing just after unlock_ipi_call_lock. The TLB flush IPI now being sent reveals a long-standing bug: the booting cpu has its APIC readied in smp_callin at the top of start_secondary, but isn't put into the cpu_online_map until just before that unlock_ipi_call_lock. So native_smp_call_function_mask to online cpus would send_IPI_allbutself, including the cpu just coming up, though it has been excluded from the count to wait for: by the time it handles the IPI, the call data on native_smp_call_function_mask's stack may well have been overwritten. So fall back to send_IPI_mask while cpu_online_map does not match cpu_callout_map: perhaps there's a better APICological fix to be made at the start_secondary end, but I wouldn't know that.
