Encoding the CPU number directly in smpboot_control skips the APIC ID
lookup when booting a single CPU. This will enable the boot CPU to use
the same code as secondaries, since the APIC ID array is not populated
during early boot.

The idle_threads array is not populated during early boot. Use
current_task instead, which is initialized to init_task for the boot
CPU.
Also simplify start_cpu0(). Since the boot CPU never really goes
offline, the GSBASE is still set up and can be used for per-cpu
accesses.

Aren't all CPUs taking this .Linit_cpu0_data path for non-parallel
startup, not just cpu0? I think you want something more like
.Linit_cpuN_data:
orl $0x0fffffff, %edx
leaq __per_cpu_offset(%rip), %rbx
movq (%rbx,%rdx,8), %rdx
jmp .Lsetup_cpu

I remember some ancient versions of Xen stored the address of the
descriptor, instead of the contents. But looking at load_direct_gdt()
and load_fixmap_gdt() which both load a descriptor on the stack, I
don't think that is still a concern.

Use the percpu offset directly to set GSBASE.

Now that the per-cpu GSBASE, stack, and GDT descriptor can be derived
dynammically by CPU number, the boot CPU can use a fixed CPU number and
take the same path as secondary CPUs.

Might as well change CPUID_01 to 0x80000000 while you're at it?

I think those first two should be folded into the 'x86/smpboot: Support
parallel startup of secondary CPUs' patch rather than follow-on
patches?

Those four probably make sense to come separately. For each of them,
Reviewed-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>
I've pulled in the v10 series from Usama, squashed the first two as I
suggested, added the last four on top to do some testing:
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/linux.git/shortlog/refs/heads/parallel-6.2-rc8-part1
Rather than overthinking the SoB chain, I've left Usama's signoff as
the last on the original series, and on the assumption that Usama will
continue posting, I'll give them the choice of my R-b or S-o-B on what
are now the final four.
