-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit 1fc711f7ffb01089efc58042cfdbac8573d1b59a upstream.

In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to
kexec_smp_down(). kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets
the hw_cpu_id() to -1. The primary does this while leaving IRQs on
which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to
the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance)
but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU
-1... Kaboom!

We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines.

There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU
mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode.

Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before
guaranteeing that no more will be received.

This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the
primary CPU much earlier. It adds a paca flag to say that the
secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs,
rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1. This new paca flag is
again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode.

It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out
any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no
trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.
