The partition suspend sequence as specified in the platform
architecture requires that all active processor threads call
H_JOIN, which:
- suspends the calling thread until it is the target of
an H_PROD; or
- immediately returns H_CONTINUE, if the calling thread is the last to
call H_JOIN. This thread is expected to call ibm,suspend-me to
completely suspend the partition.
Upon returning from ibm,suspend-me the calling thread must wake all
others using H_PROD.
rtas_ibm_suspend_me_unsafe() uses on_each_cpu() to implement this
protocol, but because of its synchronizing nature this is susceptible
to deadlock versus users of stop_machine() or other callers of
on_each_cpu().
Not only is stop_machine() intended for use cases like this, it
handles error propagation and allows us to keep the data shared
between CPUs minimal: a single atomic counter which ensures exactly
one CPU will wake the others from their joined states.
Switch the migration code to use stop_machine() and a less complex
local implementation of the H_JOIN/ibm,suspend-me logic, which
carries additional benefits:
- more informative error reporting, appropriately ratelimited
- resets the lockup detector / watchdog on resume to prevent lockup
warnings when the OS has been suspended for a time exceeding the
threshold.

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.
