    ARM: mvebu: implement CPU hotplug support for Armada XP · 26337779
    Thomas Petazzoni authored
    This commit implements CPU hotplug support for the Marvell Armada XP
    platform. The CPU hotplug stub functions from hotplug.c are moved into
    platsmp.c, as it doesn't make much sense to have a separate file just
    for these two functions.
    
    In addition, this commit:
    
     * Implements the ->cpu_die() function of SMP operations by calling
       armada_370_xp_pmsu_idle_enter() to enter the deep idle state for
       CPUs going offline.
    
     * Implements a dummy ->cpu_kill() function, simply needed for the
       kernel to know we have CPU hotplug support.
    
     * The armada_xp_boot_secondary() function makes sure to wake up the
       CPU if waiting in deep idle state by sending an IPI. This is
       because armada_xp_boot_secondary() is now used in two different
       situations: for the initial boot of secondary CPUs (where CPU reset
       deassert is used to wake up CPUs) and for CPU hotplug (where an IPI
       is used to take CPU out of deep idle).
    
     * At boot time, we exit from the idle state in the
       ->smp_secondary_init() hook.
    
    This commit has been tested using CPU hotplug through sysfs
    (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online) and using kexec.
