Subject: [PATCH] x86: don't initialise cpu_possible_map to all ones
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a8ef1cb774e5438d292365626f9b96616283706;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] x86: don't initialise cpu_possible_map to all ones

Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that

a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather
   than over possible ones.  That can be quite expensive.

b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs.  So with
   CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory.

I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug
case.  Should be OK..

I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL.  Suggest that it stop doing
that.
