A function called via the paravirt play_dead() hook should not return to the caller. xen_pv_play_dead() has a problem in this regard, as it currently will return in case an offlined cpu is brought to life again. This can be changed only by doing basically a longjmp() to cpu_bringup_and_idle(), as the hypercall for bringing down the cpu will just return when the cpu is coming up again. Just re-initializing the cpu isn't possible, as the Xen hypervisor will deny that operation. So introduce xen_cpu_bringup_again() resetting the stack and calling cpu_bringup_and_idle(), which can be called after HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op() in xen_pv_play_dead().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
