Linus Torvalds 0dd1a54f44 Merge tag 'smp-core-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull SMP core updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Reduce the preemption disabled sections in smp_call_function*().

   The various smp call functions keep preemption disabled accross the
   full operation which includes the wait for completion. Especially the
   latter can take some time when one of the target CPUs is not
   immediately responding to the IPI, which can result in large latency
   spikes.

   To improve this provide a per task CPU mask to track the CPUs to wait
   for. That makes the information required for the wait task local and
   therefore allows to reenable preemption before the wait.

   While this comes with moderate extra memory cost this reduces SMP
   function call induced latency measured in a fleet for high priority
   tasks from ~17ms to ~1.5ms (~90%).

 - Reduce the overhead of the CSD debug code by replacing the heavy
   memory barriers with smp_store_release()/acquire()

 - Remove obsolute unused hotplug states
