The Qualcomm SoCs like LeMans, Monaco support suspend to ram which leads
the SoC to ACPI S3 similar state where SoC is turned off and DDR is
retained.
The hardware design on these SoCs forces a constraint to suspend and
resume the system on boot CPU / CPU0.
If CPU0 is already offline before starting suspend to ram the
freeze_secondary_cpus() picks alternate CPU as primary / last CPU and
proceed further to invoke PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND.
This leads to a system crash.
In order to prevent such an issue introduce PM_SLEEP_SMP_CPU_ZERO_STRICT
config and when enabled prohibit the CPU0 to be offline.
Why do this in generic code? Why can't this live in arch code.
Specifically, x86 can't typically unplug CPU0 at all either.
arch_cpu_is_hotpluggable(cpu) provides that info to the cpu device core.
No hackery in cpu.c required at all.
Ah, thanks for pointing this out !
