This statement should still apply though. From PAPR: 14.11.3.3 H_CEDE The architectural intent of this hcall() is to have the virtual processor, which has no useful work to do, enter a wait state ceding its processor capacity to other virtual processors until some useful work appears, signaled either through an interrupt or a prod hcall(). To help the caller reduce race conditions, this call may be made with interrupts disabled but the semantics of the hcall() enable the virtual processor’s interrupts so that it may always receive wake up interrupt signals. -Tyrel > > -Tyrel > >> >> About 3 seconds later, as part of the LPM operation, the other 35 threads >> have all issued a H_JOIN request.
