    percpu, sparc64: fix sparse possible cpu map handling · 74d46d6b
    Tejun Heo authored
    percpu code has been assuming num_possible_cpus() == nr_cpu_ids which
    is incorrect if cpu_possible_map contains holes.  This causes percpu
    code to access beyond allocated memories and vmalloc areas.  On a
    sparc64 machine with cpus 0 and 2 (u60), this triggers the following
    warning or fails boot.

    This patch fixes generic percpu functions and sparc64
    setup_per_cpu_areas() so that they handle sparse cpu_possible_map
    properly.
    
    Please note that on x86, cpu_possible_map() doesn't contain holes and
    thus num_possible_cpus() == nr_cpu_ids and this patch doesn't cause
    any behavior difference.
