Subject: [PATCH] x86/smp: Fix cpuN startup panic
Date: Tue, 07 Aug 2012 18:50:40 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5020E4F0.5060203@intel.com> (raw)
From: Lin Chen <linx.z.chen@intel.com>
We hit a panic while doing cpu hotplug test.
<0>[ 627.982857] Kernel panic - not syncing: smp_callin: CPU1 started up but did not get a callout!
<0>[ 627.982864]
<4>[ 627.982876] Pid: 0, comm: kworker/0:1 Tainted: G ...
<4>[ 627.982883] Call Trace:
<4>[ 627.982903] [<c18f2977>] panic+0x66/0x16c
<4>[ 627.982918] [<c12234cc>] ? default_get_apic_id+0x1c/0x40
<4>[ 627.982931] [<c18ef96d>] start_secondary+0xda/0x252
During BSP bootup AP, it is possible that BSP be preempted before
finishing STARTUP sequence of AP(set cpu_callout_mask) which maybe cause
AP busy wait for it. At present, AP will wait for 2 seconds then panic.
This patch let AP waits until BSP finish the startup sequence and gives
WARNING when BSP is preempted more than 2 seconds.
