Ah, good catch. Those were added after we started on this journey :)
I think I'll do it with a 'bool unpoison' argument to
idle_thread_get(). Or just make it unconditional; they're idempotent
anyway and cheap enough? Kind of weird to be doing it from finish_cpu()
though, so I'll probably stick with the argument.
....*types*....
Erm, there are circumstances (!CONFIG_GENERIC_SMP_IDLE_THREAD) when
idle_thread_get() just unconditionally returns NULL.
At first glance, it doesn't look like scs_task_reset() copes with being
passed a NULL. Am I missing something?
$ grep -c GENERIC_SMP_IDLE_THREAD `grep -l SMP arch/*/Kconfig`

Maybe just nobody but UM cares?
