Subject: [PATCH v5 7/8] ARM: stop: execute platform callback from cpu_stop code
Date: Tue,  8 Nov 2011 15:53:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1320767583-21162-8-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1320767583-21162-1-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.
