Some platforms (will) need to perform allocations before bringing a new CPU online. Doing it from smp_ops->setup_cpu is the wrong thing to do: - It has no useful failure path (too late) - Calling any allocator will enable interrupts prematurely causing problems with large decrementer among others Instead, add a new callback that is called from __cpu_up (so from the context trying to online the new CPU) at a point where we can safely allocate and handle failures. This will be used by XIVE support. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
