powerpc/kexec: Fix orphaned offline CPUs across kexec
Commit: e8e5c2155b0035b6e04f29be67f6444bc914005b upstream
When CPU hotplug is used, some CPUs may be offline at the time a kexec is
performed. The subsequent kernel may expect these CPUs to be already
running,
and will declare them stuck. On pseries, there's also a soft-offline (cede)
state that CPUs may be in; this can also cause problems as the kexeced
kernel
may ask RTAS if they're online -- and RTAS would say they are. The CPU will
either appear stuck, or will cause a crash as we replace its cede loop
beneath
it.
This patch kicks each present offline CPU awake before the kexec, so that
none are forever lost to these assumptions in the subsequent kernel.
Now, the behaviour is that all available CPUs that were offlined are now
online & usable after the kexec. This mimics the behaviour of a full reboot
(on which all CPUs will be restarted).
