x86 NUMA kernels crash in the scheduler setup code if "nosmp" or
"maxcpus=0" is passed on the boot command line:
| Brought up 1 CPUs
| BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000000
| printing eip:
c011f0b5 *pde =
00000000
| Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
|
| Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted (2.6.23 #67)
| EIP: 0060:[<
c011f0b5>] EFLAGS:
00010246 CPU: 0
| EIP is at sd_degenerate+0x35/0x40
the reason is sloppy spaghetti code in smpboot_32.c that resulted in a
missing map_cpu_to_logical_apicid() call - which also had the side-effect
of setting up the cpu_2_node[] entry for the lone CPU. That resulted in
node_to_cpumask(0) resulting in
00000000 - confusing the sched-domains
setup code.
