[ Upstream commit 344fbab991a568dc33ad90711b489d870e18d26d ]
The only thing keeping the cpu_setup() and cpu_restore() functions
used in the cputable entries for Power7, Power8, Power9 and Power10 in
assembly was cpu_restore() being called before there was a stack in
generic_secondary_smp_init(). Commit ("powerpc/64: Set up a kernel
stack for secondaries before cpu_restore()") means that it is now
possible to use C.
Rewrite the functions in C so they are a little bit easier to read.
This is not changing their functionality.

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.
