Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/cpu: nr_cpu_ids should be aligned on threads_per_core
Date: Mon, 14 May 2018 14:13:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1526278438-10519-1-git-send-email-kernelfans@gmail.com> (raw)

With p8 subcore mode, if nr_cpus is not aligned on threads_per_core,
then we will hit the following panic:

  [    2.110227] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

This is caused by that during subcore_init, it IPIs all cpu inside the core, but due to the limitation
imposed by nr_cpus, there are no mem allocated for percpu cpu_sibling_map.
To avoid a complicated fix, this patch just forces the nr_cpu_ids to be aligned on thread_per_code
at the cost of a bit more memory.
