[PATCH] acpi_idle: use raw_safe_halt() from acpi_idle_play_dead()

[David Woodhouse]

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Xen HVM guests were observed taking triple-faults when attempting to
online a previously offlined vCPU.

Investigation showed that the fault was coming from a failing call
to lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled(), in load_current_idt() which was
too early in the CPU bringup to actually catch the exception and
report the failure cleanly.

This was a false positive, caused by acpi_idle_play_dead() setting
the per-cpu hardirqs_enabled flag by calling safe_halt(). Switch it
to use raw_safe_halt() instead, which doesn't do so.

We might {also,instead} explicitly set the hardirqs_enabled flag to
zero when bringing up an AP?
