There are four logical parts to what native_cpu_up() does on the BSP (or
on the controlling CPU for a later hotplug):
1) Wake the AP by sending the INIT/SIPI/SIPI sequence.
2) Wait for the AP to make it as far as wait_for_master_cpu() which
sets that CPU's bit in cpu_initialized_mask, then sets the bit in
cpu_callout_mask to let the AP proceed through cpu_init().
3) Wait for the AP to finish cpu_init() and get as far as the
smp_callin() call, which sets that CPU's bit in cpu_callin_mask.
4) Perform the TSC synchronization and wait for the AP to actually
mark itself online in cpu_online_mask.
In preparation to allow these phases to operate in parallel on multiple
APs, split them out into separate functions and document the interactions
a little more clearly in both the BP and AP code paths.
No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
