Subject: [PATCH v3 9/9] ARM: stop: execute platform callback from cpu_stop code
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 18:23:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1308158600-7169-10-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1308158600-7169-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com>
Sending IPI_CPU_STOP to a CPU causes it to execute a busy cpu_relax
loop forever. This makes it impossible to kexec successfully on an SMP
system since the secondary CPUs do not reset.
This patch adds a callback to platform_cpu_kill, defined when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, from the ipi_cpu_stop handling code. This function
currently just returns 1 on all platforms that define it but allows them
to do something more sophisticated in the future.

kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
