[PATCH v9 14/14] arm64: hibernate: Refuse to hibernate if the boot cpu is offline

[James Morse]

Hibernation represents a system state save/restore through
a system reboot; this implies that the logical cpus carrying
out hibernation/thawing must be the same, so that the context
saved in the snapshot image on hibernation is consistent with
the state of the system on resume. If resume from hibernation
is driven through kernel command line parameter, the cpu responsible
for thawing the system will be whatever CPU firmware boots the system
on upon cold-boot (ie logical cpu 0); this means that in order to
keep system context consistent between the hibernate snapshot image
and system state on kernel resume from hibernate, logical cpu 0 must
be online on hibernation and must be the logical cpu that creates
the snapshot image.

This patch adds a PM notifier that enforces logical cpu 0 is online
when the hibernation is started (and prevents hibernation if it is
not), which is sufficient to guarantee it will be the one creating
the snapshot image therefore providing the resume cpu a consistent
snapshot of the system to resume to.
