[Ike Panhc (ikepanhc)]

Its the same problem of bug 1090591

I reverted "kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()" fixing this before and "PM / reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()" is introduced in Linux 3.5.7.11 for solving a reboot problem on MIPS platform and cause first revert patch to drop because of conflict.

Since armadaxp kernel delta is based on the original design of cpu reboot function, I believe the best way is to revert these two patches.

All builds are complete, packages in this bug can be copied to -proposed.

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

The change in linux-meta-armadaxp to move headers from the devel section to the kernel section was unnecessary (and matches neither the archive overrides not the other flavors). Waiting for a version that reverts this.

[Ike Panhc (ikepanhc)]

linux-meta-armadaxp - 3.5.0.1613.19 is ready in c-k-t PPA and the patch to move headers from devel to kernel is reverted

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Copied to -proposed and overrides adjusted.

[Ike Panhc (ikepanhc)]

Rebase only

[Para Siva (psivaa)]

No regressions were observed

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package linux-armadaxp - 3.5.0-1614.21
