x86 idle: remove 32-bit-only "no-hlt" parameter, hlt_works_ok flag
Remove 32-bit x86 a cmdline param "no-hlt", and the cpuinfo_x86.hlt_works_ok that it sets. If a user wants to avoid HLT, then "idle=poll" is much more useful, as it avoids invocation of HLT in idle, while "no-hlt" failed to do so. Indeed, hlt_works_ok was consulted in only 3 places. First, in /proc/cpuinfo where "hlt_bug yes" would be printed if and only if the user booted the system with "no-hlt" -- as there was no other code to set that flag. Second, check_hlt() would not invoke halt() if "no-hlt" were on the cmdline. Third, it was consulted in stop_this_cpu(), which is invoked by native_machine_halt()/reboot_interrupt()/smp_stop_nmi_callback() -- all cases where the machine is being shutdown/reset. The flag was not consulted in the more frequently invoked play_dead()/hlt_play_dead() used in processor offline and suspend. Since Linux-3.0 there has been a run-time notice upon "no-hlt" invocations indicating that it would be removed in 2012. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Cc: x86@kernel.org
