From: "Longpeng(Mike)" <[email protected]> A CPU will not show up in virtualized environment which includes an Enclave. The VM splits its resources into a primary VM and a Enclave VM. While the Enclave is active, the hypervisor will ignore all requests to bring up a CPU and this CPU will remain in CPU_UP_PREPARE state. The kernel will wait up to ten seconds for CPU to show up (do_boot_cpu()) and then rollback the hotplug state back to CPUHP_OFFLINE leaving the CPU state in CPU_UP_PREPARE. The CPU state is set back to CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU during the CPU_POST_DEAD stage.
After the Enclave VM terminates, the primary VM can bring up the CPU again. Allow to bring up the CPU if it is in the CPU_UP_PREPARE state.
