Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A small update for the SMP hotplug code code:
- Track "booted once" CPUs in a cpumask so the x86 APIC code has an
easy way to decide whether broadcast IPIs are safe to use or not.
- Implement a cpumask_or_equal() helper for the IPI broadcast
evaluation.
The above two changes have been also pulled into the x86/apic
branch for implementing the conditional IPI broadcast feature.
- Cache the number of online CPUs instead of reevaluating it over and
over. num_online_cpus() is an unreliable snapshot anyway except
when it is used outside a cpu hotplug locked region. The cached
access is not changing this, but it's definitely faster than
calculating the bitmap wheight especially in hot paths"

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.
