[PATCH] xen/cpu: Make VCPU hotplug code online CPUs properly.

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
Date: Fri Feb 10 2012 - 09:46:58 EST


Offlining CPUs works. Onlining does not work anymore and it looks
like we were missing a cpu_up() call in the hotplug bring up path.

When the vCPUs are initialized, if they are onlined or never had
been in use (so maxcpus > vcpus) the vCPUs are in xen_play_dead
having called VCPUOP_down and are not running. When a vCPU is
onlined, the bootup (or any other currently running CPU) is suppose
to call VCPUOP_up on the vCPU that is not running and make the
vCPU unhinge itself out of the xen_play_dead and continue in
cpu_idle. We did not make the hypercall on onlining, nor did we
recreate the timer, spinlocks, ipi interrupts so the vCPU never
was onlined. This patch fixes it by calling cpu_on() and we
also make the code more readable.
