Bug Description
[Impact]
Issue: When a reboot (or init 6) command is issued the server shuts down instead.
Expected behaviour: To reboot and NOT shutdown
Impacted HW: HPE DL 380 OR Synergy 480 Gen 10 Plus Server 2P core count greater than 16 (like 24,28 or 32)
Impacted OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 kernel higher than 15.17.15
When the CPU count is 1, issue is not observed. When core count is less than 24 (like 16) issue not observed.
[Fix]
Problem introduced in v5.18 with commit:
08f253ec3767 x86/cpu: Clear SME feature flag when not in use
Fixes for the above:0
9b040453d444 x86/smp: Dont access non-existing CPUID leaf
1f5e7eb7868e x86/smp: Make stop_other_cpus() more robust
[Test Case]
$ sudo reboot
Server should reboot and not power off.
[Where Problems Could Occur]
The fixes modify x86 stop-CPU code so reboot/poweroff of x86 machines could be affected.
