=============
Changes in v4
=============

	* Split arm and arm64 patches so that the change to use reboot_cpu goes
	  into its own separate patch (Russell)
	* Collected new Acked-by
	* Rebased on top of v5.6-rc6
	* Trimmed the CC list on the cover letter as lists were rejecting it


	git clone git://linux-arm.org/linux-qy.git -b cpu-hp-cleanup-v4

=============
Test Coverage
=============

	All tests ran with LOCKDEP enabled.

Platform: Juno-r2: arm64
------------------------

	* Overnight rcutorture
	* Overnight locktorture
	* kexec -f Image --command="$(cat /proc/cmdline) reboot=s[0-5]"
	* Hibernate to disk (using suspend option)
	* Userspace hotplug via sysfs
	* PSCI firemware checker

Notes:

	* Couldn't convince Juno to hibernate using [reboot] or [shutdown]
	  options.

Platform: qemu (8 vCPUs) and VM (2 vCPUs): x86_64
-------------------------------------------------

	* Overnight rcutorture
	* Overnight locktorture
	* Userspace hotplug via sysfs
	* echo mmiotrace > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer &&
	  echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
	* Ran with CONFIG_DEBUG_HOTPLUG_CPU0 and CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0

Notes:

	* qemu failed to bring cpu0 after offlining. Same behavior observed on
	  vanilla v5.6-rc6. Worked fine on the VM.

	* mmiotrace successfully brought down all cpus when enabled,
	  then back online again when disabled. Including when cpu0 was
	  offline.

	* My xen shenanigans are too 'humble' too create environment to test
	  the change in xen yet..


=====================
Original Cover Letter
=====================

Using cpu_up/down directly to bring cpus online/offline loses synchronization
with sysfs and could suffer from a race similar to what is described in
commit a6717c01ddc2 ("powerpc/rtas: use device model APIs and serialization
during LPM").

cpu_up/down seem to be more of a internal implementation detail for the cpu
subsystem to use to boot up cpus, perform suspend/resume and low level hotplug
operations. Users outside of the cpu subsystem would be better using the device
core API to bring a cpu online/offline which is the interface used to hotplug
memory and other system devices.

Several users have already migrated to use the device core API, this series
converts the remaining users and hides cpu_up/down from internal users at the
end.

I noticed this problem while working on a hack to disable offlining
a particular CPU but noticed that setting the offline_disabled attribute in the
device struct isn't enough because users can easily bypass the device core.
While my hack isn't a valid use case but it did highlight the inconsistency in
the way cpus are being onlined/offlined and this attempt hopefully improves on
this.

The first patch introduces new API to {add,remove}_cpu() using device_{online,
offline}() with correct locks held and export it.

The following 10 patches fix arch users.

The remaining 6 patches fix generic code users. Particularly creating a new
special exported API for the device core to use instead of cpu_up/down.

The last patch removes cpu_up/down from cpu.h and unexport the functions.

In some cases where the use of cpu_up/down seemed legitimate, I encapsulated
the logic in a higher level - special purposed function; and converted the code
to use that instead.
