Subject: [PATCH] arch/arm64: Fix topology initialization for core scheduling
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2022 12:03:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220322160304.26229-1-pauld@redhat.com> (raw)
Some arm64 rely on store_cpu_topology() to setup the real topology.
This needs to be done before the call to notify_cpu_starting() which
tell the scheduler about the cpu otherwise the core scheduling data
structures are setup in a way that does not match the actual topology.
Without this change stress-ng (which enables core scheduling in its prctl
tests) causes a warning and then a crash (trimmed for legibility):

This is a similar issue to
f2703def339c ("MIPS: smp: fill in sibling and core maps earlier")
which fixed it for MIPS.
