[PATCHv12 15/19] x86/acpi: Do not attempt to bring up secondary CPUs in kexec case

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ACPI MADT doesn't allow to offline a CPU after it was onlined. This
limits kexec: the second kernel won't be able to use more than one CPU.

To prevent a kexec kernel from onlining secondary CPUs invalidate the
mailbox address in the ACPI MADT wakeup structure which prevents a
kexec kernel to use it.

This is safe as the booting kernel has the mailbox address cached
already and acpi_wakeup_cpu() uses the cached value to bring up the
secondary CPUs.

Note: This is a Linux specific convention and not covered by the
      ACPI specification.
