Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: reset kernel stack on cpu online from cede state
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:49:30 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100222081930.GK5268@dirshya.in.ibm.com> (raw)

    	powerpc: reset kernel stack on cpu online from cede state
    
    	Cpu hotplug (offline) without dlpar operation will place cpu
    	in cede state and the extended_cede_processor() function will
    	return when resumed.
    
    	Kernel stack pointer needs to be reset before
    	start_secondary() is called to continue the online operation.
    
    	Added new function start_secondary_resume() to do the above
    	steps.
