From: Nikita Yushchenko <nyushchenko@dev.rtsoft.ru>
While running an imx6s boasrd, I got following message in boot log:
[ 0.032414] CPU1: failed to boot: -38
This looked strange: imx6s is singe-core and kernel perfectly knows that. However, for some reason it tries to initialize CPU 1?
I found this to be caused by - CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP successfully detects that system is single core, - this causes is_smp() to return false, - this causes setup_arch() to skip smp_init_cpus() call, - this skips board-specific code that sets cpu_possible mask.
By looking at the code, I don't understand why several initialization routines are called only in is_smp() case - while other kernel CONFIG_SMP code does not check is_smp() every time and uses what should have been initialized by skipped routines.
Thus I propose making these init calls regardless of is_smp() check. Calls are already conditional on CONFIG_SMP. This will make init and usage sides consistent.
