[PATCH 07/17] stop_machine: Add stop_cluster_cpuslocked() for per-cluster operations
From: Ehab Ababneh
Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 14:37:30 EST
From: Qiuxu Zhuo <qiuxu.zhuo@xxxxxxxxx>
There is already stop_core_cpuslocked() for hardware core-level testing
features, which requires near-simultaneous execution of the WRMSR
instruction on all threads of a core to initiate a test. However, some
hardware requires this simultaneous execution of WRMSR at the cluster
level.
Add stop_cluster_cpuslocked(), a customized version of
stop_machine_cpuslocked() for operating solely on the threads of a
single cluster.
