Subject: [PATCH] cpumask: avoid cast-away-const for deprecated cpu_*_map.
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 17:45:20 +1030 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200902181745.21595.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)
Impact: fix potential (non-x86) SMP boot failure with some gcc versions
The deprecated cpu_*_map are currently #defined to the new cpu_*_mask,
except without the const. Some versions of gcc seem to dislike this,
and I suspect this will break boot for some archs with the "wrong" gcc
version.
So play it safe and use real vars until we kill them all (replacements
are init_*_map(), set_cpu_*() and cpu_*_mask).
PowerPC and Alpha have reported warnings, and James Bottomley
encountered worse: gcc was simply not changing cpu_possible_map,
causing boot failure (fixed by using init_cpu_possible()).
