Xen HVM guests were observed taking triple-faults when attempting to online a previously offlined vCPU. Investigation showed that the fault was coming from a failing call to lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled(), in load_current_idt() which was too early in the CPU bringup to actually catch the exception and report the failure cleanly. This was a false positive, caused by acpi_idle_play_dead() setting the per-cpu hardirqs_enabled flag by calling safe_halt(). Switch it to use raw_safe_halt() instead, which doesn't do so.

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.
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.
