* Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki2007-05-091-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

* [PATCH] cpu hotplug documentation fixHeiko Carstens2006-02-201-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | Looks like there was a merge conflict when patches 8f8b1138fc9f65e3591aac83a4ee394fef34ac1d and 255acee706b333b79f593dd366f16e1f107cccc3 were applied which wasn't properly resolved. Fix this and add some additional description.

* [PATCH] s390: possible_cpus parameterHeiko Carstens2006-02-171-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | Introduce possible_cpus command line option. Hard sets the number of bits set in cpu_possible_map. Unlike the additional_cpus parameter this one guarantees that num_possible_cpus() will stay constant even if the system gets rebooted and a different number of cpus are present at startup.

* [PATCH] s390: additional_cpus parameterHeiko Carstens2006-02-171-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce additional_cpus command line option. By default no additional cpu can be attached to the system anymore. Only the cpus present at IPL time can be switched on/off. If it is desired that additional cpus can be attached to the system the maximum number of additional cpus needs to be specified with this option. This change is necessary in order to limit the waste of per_cpu data structures.
