With the kernel 5.18, the system will hang on boot if it is compiled with CONFIG_SCHED_MC. The last printed message is "Brought up 1 node, 1 CPU". The crash happens in sd_init tl->mask (which is cpu_coregroup_mask) returns an empty mask. This happens because cpu_topology[0].core_sibling is empty. Consequently, sd_span is set to an empty mask sd_id = cpumask_first(sd_span) sets sd_id == NR_CPUS (because the mask is empty) sd->shared = *per_cpu_ptr(sdd->sds, sd_id); sets sd->shared to NULL because sd_id is out of range atomic_inc(&sd->shared->ref); crashes without printing anything We can fix it by calling reset_cpu_topology() from init_cpu_topology() - this will initialize the sibling masks on CPUs, so that they're not empty. This patch also removes the variable "dualcores_found", it is useless, because during boot, init_cpu_topology is called before store_cpu_topology. Thus, set_sched_topology(parisc_mc_topology) is never called. We don't need to call it at all because default_topology in kernel/sched/topology.c contains the same items as parisc_mc_topology. Note that we should not call store_cpu_topology() from init_per_cpu() because it is called too early in the kernel initialization process and it results in the message "Failure to register CPU0 device". Before this patch, store_cpu_topology() would exit immediatelly because cpuid_topo->core id was uninitialized and it was 0.
