[PATCH 75/75] powerpc/pseries: Always enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU on PSERIES SMP

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Srivatsa S. Bhat" <srivatsa.bhat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f274ef8747d3be649bba8708696fb31cb00fa75a upstream.

Adam Lackorzynski reported the following build failure on
!CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU configuration:

  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c: In function ârtas_cpu_state_change_maskâ:
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:843:4: error: implicit declaration of function âcpu_downâ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel] Error 2

The build fails because cpu_down() is defined only under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

Looking further, the mobility code in pseries is one of the call-sites which
uses rtas_ibm_suspend_me(), which in turn calls rtas_cpu_state_change_mask().
And the mobility code is unconditionally compiled-in (it does not fall under
any Kconfig option). And commit 120496ac (powerpc: Bring all threads online
prior to migration/hibernation) which introduced this build regression is
critical for the proper functioning of the migration code. So it appears
that the only solution to this problem is to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU if
SMP is enabled on PPC_PSERIES platforms. So make that change in the Kconfig.
