Subject: [patch] x86: 2.6.31-rc7 crash due to buggy flat_phys_pkg_id
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 11:26:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090824182659.GA6842@localdomain> (raw)
2.6.31-rc7 does not boot on vSMPowered systems. The sched domains
seem to build incorrectly with error messages of the sort:
[ 8.501108] CPU31: Thermal monitoring enabled (TM1)
[ 8.501127] CPU 31 MCA banks SHD:2 SHD:3 SHD:5 SHD:6 SHD:8
[ 8.650254] CPU31: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5540 @ 2.53GHz
stepping 04
[ 8.710324] Brought up 32 CPUs
[ 8.713916] Total of 32 processors activated (162314.96 BogoMIPS).
[ 8.721489] ERROR: parent span is not a superset of domain->span
[ 8.727686] ERROR: domain->groups does not contain CPU0
[ 8.733091] ERROR: groups don't span domain->span
[ 8.737975] ERROR: domain->cpu_power not set
[ 8.742416]
This is followed by oopsen in the scheduler code
with NULL pointer deference in find_busiest_group.
Git bisection pointed to the following commit:
commit 2759c3287de27266e06f1f4e82cbd2d65f6a044c
x86: don't call read_apic_id if !cpu_has_apic
Upon examining the history of the commit, the above commit seems to be a fix
for:
commit 4797f6b021a3fa399942245d07a1feb30df81bb8
x86: read apic ID in the !acpi_lapic case
However, there appears to be bug in the commit
2759c3287de27266e06f1f4e82cbd2d65f6a044c, where flat_phys_pkg_id
uses initial apic id instead of hard_smp_processor_id() on SMP machines.

This patch fixes the bug and causes vSMPowered systems to boot up
correctly,
