[v18,02/13] arm64: Add cpus_are_stuck_in_kernel

Commit Message

Geoff Levand June 9, 2016, 8:08 p.m. UTC

From: James Morse <[e-mail]>

kernel/smp.c has a fancy counter that keeps track of the number of CPUs
it marked as not-present and left in cpu_park_loop(). If there are any
CPUs spinning in here, kexec will release them once the memory is re-used
by the new kernel.

Provide a function to expose whether this counter is non-zero, so we can
use this when loading a new kexec image, and when calling machine_kexec().
