The Broadcom Brahma-B15 readahead cache needs to be disabled, respectively re-enable during a CPU hotplug. In case we were not to do, CPU hotplug would occasionally fail with random crashes when a given CPU exits the coherency domain while the RAC is still enabled, as it would get stale data from the RAC. In order to avoid adding any specific B15 readahead-cache awareness to arch/arm/mach-bcm/hotplug-brcmstb.c we use a CPU hotplug state machine which allows us to catch CPU hotplug events and disable/flush enable the RAC accordingly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
