Subject: [PATCHv5 3/3] powerpc/setup: alloc extra paca_ptrs to hold boot_cpuid
Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2023 22:19:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230908141941.13660-4-piliu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230908141941.13660-1-piliu@redhat.com>
paca_ptrs should be large enough to hold the boot_cpuid, hence, its
lower boundary is set to the bigger one between boot_cpuid+1 and
nr_cpus.
On the other hand, some kernel component: -1. the timer assumes cpu0
online since the timer_list->flags subfield 'TIMER_CPUMASK' is zero if
not initialized to a proper present cpu. -2. power9_idle_stop() assumes
the primary thread's paca is allocated.
Hence lift nr_cpu_ids from one to two to ensure cpu0 is onlined, if the
boot cpu is not cpu0.
