Since commit 19dbdcb8039cf ("smp: Warn on function calls from softirq
context") the Thermal Assist Unit driver causes a warning like the
following when CONFIG_SMP is enabled.

Don't call on_each_cpu() from a timer callback, call it from a worker
thread instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
