From 31139971b3dc9fbb2e8a8572fb81e6e8470f363a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2005 21:13:13 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] ppc32: support hotplug cpu on powermacs This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs. When a cpu is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled. It can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is connected to a GPIO pin. With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).
