x86/hyperv: Initialize clockevents after LAPIC is initialized
With commit 4df4cb9e, the Hyper-V direct-mode STIMER is actually initialized before LAPIC is initialized: see apic_intr_mode_init() x86_platform.apic_post_init() hyperv_init() hv_stimer_alloc() apic_bsp_setup() setup_local_APIC() setup_local_APIC() temporarily disables LAPIC, initializes it and re-eanble it. The direct-mode STIMER depends on LAPIC, and when it's registered, it can be programmed immediately and the timer can fire very soon: hv_stimer_init clockevents_config_and_register clockevents_register_device tick_check_new_device tick_setup_device tick_setup_periodic(), tick_setup_oneshot() clockevents_program_event When the timer fires in the hypervisor, if the LAPIC is in the disabled state, new versions of Hyper-V ignore the event and don't inject the timer interrupt into the VM, and hence the VM hangs when it boots. Note: when the VM starts/reboots, the LAPIC is pre-enabled by the firmware, so the window of LAPIC being temporarily disabled is pretty small, and the issue can only happen once out of 100~200 reboots for a 40-vCPU VM on one dev host, and on another host the issue doesn't reproduce after 2000 reboots. The issue is more noticeable for kdump/kexec, because the LAPIC is disabled by the first kernel, and stays disabled until the kdump/kexec kernel enables it. This is especially an issue to a Generation-2 VM (for which Hyper-V doesn't emulate the PIT timer) when CONFIG_HZ=1000 (rather than CONFIG_HZ=250) is used. Fix the issue by moving hv_stimer_alloc() to a later place where the LAPIC timer is initialized.
