Implement kexec-hardboot

"Allows hard booting (i.e., with a full hardware reboot) to a kernel
previously loaded in memory by kexec.  This works around the problem of
soft-booted kernel hangs due to improper device shutdown and/or
reinitialization."
More info in /arch/arm/Kconfig.

  I've ported it to M7, it is based of my flo port, which is based of
  my grouper port, which is based of Asus TF201 patches ported by
  Jens Andersen <jens.andersen@gmail.com>.

  I've moved atags copying from guest to the host kernel, which means there
  is no need to patch the guest kernel, assuming the --mem-min in kexec call
  is within the first 256MB of System RAM, otherwise it will take a long time
  to load. I've also fixed /proc/atags entry, which would give the kexec-tools
  userspace binary only the first 1024 bytes of atags,
  see arch/arm/kernel/atags.c for more details.

  Other than that, memory-reservation code for the hardboot page and
  some assembler to do the watchdog reset on MSM chip are new for this device.

  M7 also needed bigger BOOT_PARAMS_SIZE, because it has more atags.
  Modified kexec-tools binary is required. See:

kthread: Implement park/unpark facility

To avoid the full teardown/setup of per cpu kthreads in the case of
cpu hot(un)plug, provide a facility which allows to put the kthread
into a park position and unpark it when the cpu comes online again.

smp, idle: Allocate idle thread for each possible cpu during boot

percpu areas are already allocated during boot for each possible cpu.
percpu idle threads can be considered as an extension of the percpu areas,
and allocate them for each possible cpu during boot.

This will eliminate the need for workqueue based idle thread allocation.
In future we can move the idle thread area into the percpu area too.

[ tglx: Moved the loop into smpboot.c and added an error check when
  the init code failed to allocate an idle thread for a cpu which
  should be onlined ]

smpboot, idle: Optimize calls to smp_processor_id() in idle_threads_init()

While trying to initialize idle threads for all cpus, idle_threads_init()
calls smp_processor_id() in a loop, which is unnecessary. The intent
is to initialize idle threads for all non-boot cpus. So just use a variable
to note the boot cpu and use it in the loop.

smpboot: Provide infrastructure for percpu hotplug threads

Provide a generic interface for setting up and tearing down percpu
threads.

On registration the threads for already online cpus are created and
started. On deregistration (modules) the threads are stoppped.

During hotplug operations the threads are created, started, parked and
unparked. The datastructure for registration provides a pointer to
percpu storage space and optional setup, cleanup, park, unpark
functions. These functions are called when the thread state changes.

Each implementation has to provide a function which is queried and
returns whether the thread should run and the thread function itself.

The core code handles all state transitions and avoids duplicated code
in the call sites.

hotplug: Fix UP bug in smpboot hotplug code

Because kernel subsystems need their per-CPU kthreads on UP systems as
well as on SMP systems, the smpboot hotplug kthread functions must be
provided in UP builds as well as in SMP builds.  This commit therefore
adds smpboot.c to UP builds and excludes irrelevant code via #ifdef.

smpboot: Allow selfparking per cpu threads

The stop machine threads are still killed when a cpu goes offline. The
reason is that the thread is used to bring the cpu down, so it can't
be parked along with the other per cpu threads.

Allow a per cpu thread to be excluded from automatic parking, so it
can park itself once it's done

Add a create callback function as well.

stop_machine: Mark per cpu stopper enabled early

commit 14e568e78 (stop_machine: Use smpboot threads) introduced the
following regression:

Before this commit the stopper enabled bit was set in the online
notifier.

CPU0				CPU1
cpu_up
				cpu online
hotplug_notifier(ONLINE)
  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
...
stop_machine()

The conversion to smpboot threads moved the enablement to the wakeup
path of the parked thread. The majority of users seem to have the
following working order:

CPU0				CPU1
cpu_up
				cpu online
unpark_threads()
  wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
....
				stopper thread runs
				  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
stop_machine()

But Konrad and Sander have observed:

CPU0				CPU1
cpu_up
				cpu online
unpark_threads()
  wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
....
stop_machine()
				stopper thread runs
				  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;

Now the stop machinery kicks CPU0 into the stop loop, where it gets
stuck forever because the queue code saw stopper(CPU1)->enabled ==
false, so CPU0 waits for CPU1 to enter stomp_machine, but the CPU1
stopper work got discarded due to enabled == false.

Add a pre_unpark function to the smpboot thread descriptor and call it
before waking the thread.

This fixes the problem at hand, but the stop_machine code should be
more robust. The stopper->enabled flag smells fishy at best.

Thanks to Konrad for going through a loop of debug patches and
providing the information to decode this issue.
