From 02b73e2e9c288cbbb6ec96bef628cf08e29824c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 15:49:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: stop: execute platform callback from cpu_stop code 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.
