Shenoy <ranjs...@in.ibm.com> - 2017-04-20 08:29:13 == Power9 DD1 has a hardware issue due to which in core whose all threads are offlined , when any of the CPUs are onlined, they come online with an incorrect PACA thereby resulting in a crash. The following fixes sent upstream need to applied to the 17.04 kernel to get CPU-Hotplug working correctly on a Power9 DD1 system. 1) powerpc/linux.git next, commit a7cd88da9704 ("powernv: Move CPU- Offline idle state invocation from smp.c to idle.c"). 2) powerpc/linux.git next, the commit 900612315788 ("powerpc/powernv/smp: Add busy-wait loop as fall back for CPU- Hotplug"). 3) powerpc/linux.git, commit f3b3f28493d932 ("powerpc/powernv/idle: Don't override default/deepest directly in kernel"). 4) powerpc/linux.git next, commit 17ed4c8f81da ("powerpc/powernv: Recover correct PACA on wakeup from a stop on P9 DD1"). These patches have been backported onto the 17.04 Kernel tagged Ubuntu-4.10.0-19.21. == Comment: #1 - Ranjal G. Shenoy <ranjs...@in.ibm.com> - 2017-04-20 08:29:54 == == Comment: #2 - Ranjal G.
