      powerpc/powernv: Always go into nap mode when CPU is offline · 375f561a
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      The CPU hotplug code for the powernv platform currently only puts
      offline CPUs into nap mode if the powersave_nap variable is set.
      However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads
      to be offline and in nap mode.  Since we know nap mode works just
      fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the
      powernv platform are POWER7 machines, this changes the code to
      always put offline CPUs into nap mode, regardless of powersave_nap.
      Powersave_nap still controls whether or not CPUs go into nap mode
      when idle, as before.

      powerpc/powernv: Fix problems in onlining CPUs · cba313da
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      At present, on the powernv platform, if you off-line a CPU that was
      online, and then try to on-line it again, the kernel generates a
      warning message "OPAL Error -1 starting CPU n".  Furthermore, if the
      CPU is a secondary thread that was used by KVM while it was off-line,
      the CPU fails to come online.
      
      The first problem is fixed by only calling OPAL to start the CPU the
      first time it is on-lined, as indicated by the cpu_start field of its
      PACA being zero.  The second problem is fixed by restoring the
      cpu_start field to 1 instead of 0 when using the CPU within KVM.
