<id>071c44e4278156f18a6a56958617223b6bffa6ab</id>
<content type='text'>
Before commit 076cbf5d2163 ("x86/xen: don't let xen_pv_play_dead()
return"), in Xen, when a previously offlined CPU was brought back
online, it unexpectedly resumed execution where it left off in the
middle of the idle loop.

There were some hacks to make that work, but the behavior was surprising
as do_idle() doesn't expect an offlined CPU to return from the dead (in
arch_cpu_idle_dead()).

Now that Xen has been fixed, and the arch-specific implementations of
arch_cpu_idle_dead() also don't return, give it a __noreturn attribute.

This will cause the compiler to complain if an arch-specific
implementation might return.  It also improves code generation for both
caller and callee.

Also fixes the following warning:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_idle+0x25f: unreachable instruction

279dcf693ac7 ("virt: acrn: Introduce an interface for Service VM to
control vCPU") introduced {add,remove}_cpu() usage and it hit below
error with !CONFIG_SMP:

Add add_cpu() function prototypes with !CONFIG_SMP and remove_cpu() with
!CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU for such usage.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.
