[PATCHv7,13/16] x86/acpi: Do not attempt to bring up secondary CPUs in kexec case
Commit Message
ACPI MADT doesn't allow to offline a CPU after it was onlined. This
limits kexec: the second kernel won't be able to use more than one CPU.
To prevent a kexec kernel from onlining secondary CPUs invalidate the
mailbox address in the ACPI MADT wakeup structure which prevents a
kexec kernel to use it.
This is safe as the booting kernel has the mailbox address cached
already and acpi_wakeup_cpu() uses the cached value to bring up the
secondary CPUs.
Note: This is a Linux specific convention and not covered by the
ACPI specification.
