Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 07/13] powerpc/64: don't refer nr_cpu_ids in asm code when it's undefined
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022 20:10:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221018001102.2731930-7-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221018001102.2731930-1-sashal@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 546a073d628111e3338af689938407e77d5dc38f ]
generic_secondary_common_init() calls LOAD_REG_ADDR(r7, nr_cpu_ids)
conditionally on CONFIG_SMP. However, if 'NR_CPUS == 1', kernel doesn't
use the nr_cpu_ids, and in C code, it's just:
#if NR_CPUS == 1
#define nr_cpu_ids
...
This series makes declaration of nr_cpu_ids conditional on NR_CPUS == 1,
and that reveals the issue, because compiler can't link the
LOAD_REG_ADDR(r7, nr_cpu_ids) against nonexisting symbol.
Current code looks unsafe for those who build kernel with CONFIG_SMP=y and
NR_CPUS == 1. This is weird configuration, but not disallowed.
Fix the linker error by replacing LOAD_REG_ADDR() with LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE()
conditionally on NR_CPUS == 1.
As the following patch adds CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS option that has the
similar effect on nr_cpu_ids, make the generic_secondary_common_init()
conditional on it too.
