Subject: [PATCH 4/7] ARM: B15: Add CPU hotplug awareness
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 12:29:23 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170118202927.28740-5-f.fainelli@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170118202927.28740-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com>

The Broadcom Brahma-B15 readahead cache needs to be disabled,
respectively re-enable during a CPU hotplug. In case we were not to do,
CPU hotplug would occasionally fail with random crashes when a given CPU
exits the coherency domain while the RAC is still enabled, as it would
get stale data from the RAC.

In order to avoid adding any specific B15 readahead-cache awareness to
arch/arm/mach-bcm/hotplug-brcmstb.c we use a CPU hotplug state machine
which allows us to catch CPU hotplug events and disable/flush enable the
RAC accordingly.
