[RFC PATCH 05/49] cpuidle: Move CPUHP_AP_CPU_PM_STARTING post stop_machine()

From: Frederic Weisbecker

Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 09:17:15 EST


Between CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU and CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE, stop_machine executes
all the teardown callbacks while stopping all CPUs in the system. This
doesn't mix-up well with running RT or isolated tasks.

In order to transition smoothly from global stop_machine to finer
grained synchronization between teardown callbacks and the other CPUs,
a new stop machine post function has been introduced to be executed
after the main one with IRQs still disabled while other CPUs can exit
stop_machine().

The teardown callback here only touches local data and also the local
power device under its power lock. Therefore it should be safe to run
against other CPUs.

Move this teardown callback to post stop_machine() accordingly.
