x86: fix 2.6.27rc1 cannot boot more than 8CPUs
Jeff Chua reported that booting a !bigsmp kernel on a 16-way box hangs silently. this is a long-standing issue, smp start AP cpu could check the apic id >=8 etc before trying to start it. achieve this by moving the def_to_bigsmp check later and skip the apicid id > 8 [ mingo@elte.hu: clean up the message that is printed. ] Reported-by: "Jeff Chua" <jeff.chua.linux@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> arch/x86/kernel/setup.c | 6 ------ arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c | 10 ++++++++++ 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)
