powerpc/kexec: Add to and tidy debug/comments in machine_kexec64.c
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Tidies some typos, KERN_INFO-ise an info msg, and add a debug msg showing
when the final sequence starts.

Also adds a comment to kexec_prepare_cpus_wait() to make note of a possible
problem; the need for kexec to deal with CPUs that failed to originally start
up.

* are correctly onlined. If somehow we start a CPU on boot with RTAS
* start-cpu, but somehow that CPU doesn't write callin_cpu_map[] in
* time, the boot CPU will timeout. If it does eventually execute
* stuff, the secondary will start up (paca[].cpu_start was written) and
* get into a peculiar state. If the platform supports
* smp_ops->take_timebase(), the secondary CPU will probably be spinning
* in there. If not (i.e. pseries), the secondary will continue on and
* try to online itself/idle/etc. If it survives that, we need to find
* these possible-but-not-online-but-should-be CPUs and chaperone them
* into kexec_smp_wait().
