Sebastien Dugue 94df7de028 hrtimers: allow the hot-unplugging of all cpus ... Impact: fix CPU hotplug hang on Power6 testbox On architectures that support offlining all cpus (at least powerpc/pseries), hot-unpluging the tick_do_timer_cpu can result in a system hang. This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks, jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck. That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting for the dying cpu to be dead. This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered in hrtimer_cpu_notify().
