When starting the other CPUs from the bootloader we did not wait for any
confirmation after sending off the startup IPIs. We simply moved on and setup
the temporary stack address for the next CPU to be started. With this it was
possible that the trampoline code did not manage to load the address before
we overwrote it. So for configurations with more than two CPUs it was possible
that two CPUs were setup to the same kernel stack which could have caused all
sorts of things - most likely a tripple fault and a reboot. On real hardware
this seems very unlikely but it was easily reproducible with QEMU and -smp >2.
We now use the shared trampoline stack to implement a notification mechanism.
The trampoline code will clear the stack location variable once it has loaded
everything it needs from the trampoline stack. On the other side
smp_boot_other_cpus() will wait for this variable to be cleared after it sent
the startup IPIs so that it knows when it can safely move on and overwrite the
area to boot the next CPU.
