From f018b36f3e1f21318066de8d01740d30e38b03d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 14:13:50 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] powerpc: Don't start secondary CPUs in a UP && KEXEC kernel Because smp_release_cpus() is built for SMP || KEXEC, it's not safe to unconditionally call it from setup_system(). On a UP && KEXEC kernel we'll start up the secondary CPUs which will then go beserk and we die. Simple fix is to conditionally call smp_release_cpus() in setup_system(). With that in place we don't need the dummy definition of smp_release_cpus() because all call sites are #ifdef'ed either SMP or KEXEC.
