Subject: [PATCHv8 0/5] enable nr_cpus for powerpc
Date: Mon,  9 Oct 2023 19:30:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231009113036.45988-1-piliu@redhat.com> (raw)

Since my last v4 [1], the code has undergone great changes. The paca[]
array has been reorganized and indexed by paca_ptrs[], which
dramatically decreases the memory consumption even if there are many
unpresent cpus in the middle.

However, reordering the logical cpu numbers can further decrease the
size of paca_ptrs[] in the kdump case. So I keep [1-2/5], which
rotate-shifts the cpu's sequence number in the device tree to obtain the
logical cpu id.

Patch [3-5/5] make further efforts to decrease the nr_cpus to be less
than or equal to two.

  Fix bug when turning on DEBUG macro
  Introducing [PATCHv7 4/5] powerpc/cpu: Skip impossible cpu during iteration on
a core, which avoid access to unpopulated pcpu data.
