The kexec_state KEXEC_STATE_IRQS_OFF barrier is reached by all secondary CPUs before the kexec_cpu_down() operation is called on secondaries. This can raise conflicts and provoque errors in the XIVE hcalls when XIVE is shutdown with H_INT_RESET on the primary CPU. To synchronize the kexec_cpu_down() operations and make sure the secondaries have completed their task before the primary starts doing the same, let's move the primary kexec_cpu_down() after the KEXEC_STATE_REAL_MODE barrier. This change of the ending sequence of kexec is mostly useful on the pseries platform but it impacts also the powernv, ps3 and 85xx platforms. powernv can be easily tested and fixed but some caution is required for the other two.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
