From: Hugh Dickins Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 03:26:50 +0000 (+0100) Subject: fix maxcpus=1 oops in show_stat() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=62e6f1e8bb7c48c02b8bdb3085c5f6365682149b;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git fix maxcpus=1 oops in show_stat() Alexey Dobriyan reports that maxcpus=1 is still broken in 2.6.23-rc4: if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set, x86_64 bootup oopses in show_stat() - for_each_possible_cpu accesses a per-cpu area which was never set up. Alexey identified commit 61ec7567db103d537329b0db9a887db570431ff4 (ACPI: boot correctly with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0") as the origin; but it's not really to blame, just exposes a bug in 2.6.23-rc1's commit 8b3b295502444340dd0701855ac422fbf32e161d (Especially when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, avoid needlessy allocating resources for CPUs that can never become available). rc1's test for max_cpus < 2 in start_kernel() wasn't working because max_cpus was still NR_CPUS at that point: until rc4 moved the maxcpus parsing earlier. Now it sets cpu_possible_map to 1 before allocating all possible per-cpu areas; then smp_init() expands cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map (0xf in my case) later on. rc1's commit has good intentions, but expects cpu_present_map to be limited by maxcpus, which is only the case on i386. cpus_and(possible, possible,present) might be good, but needs an audit of cpu_present_map uses - there may well be assumptions that any cpu present is possible. So stay safe for now and just revert those #ifndef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU optimizations in rc1's commit.
