[PATCH] selftests/x86/amx: Add a CPU hotplug test

From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Sat Jun 03 2023 - 11:38:24 EST


Adamos found the issue with the cached XFD state [1]. Although the XFD
state is reset on the CPU hotplug, the per-CPU XFD cache is missing
the reset. Then, running an AMX thread there, the staled value causes
the kernel crash to kill the thread.

This is reproducible when moving an AMX thread to the hot-plugged CPU.
So, add a test case to ensure no issue with that.

It repeats the test due to possible inconsistencies. Then, along with
the hotplug cost, it will bring a noticeable runtime increase. But,
the overall test has a quick turnaround time.

The overall x86 selftest via "$ make TARGETS='x86' kselftest" takes
about 3.5 -> 5.5 seconds. 'amx_64' itself took about 1.5 more seconds
over 0.x seconds.

But, this overall runtime still takes in a matter of some seconds,
which should be fine I thought.
