Allow non zero boot cpu
PATCH 1/1 Allow non zero boot cpu
Hi,
A partitioned ppc64 machine can have a boot cpuid anywhere from 0 to 31. With the non linear cpu changes in 2.5.24 we must set up the initial task to start on the boot cpu. (since it isnt always 0 now)
With this patch I am able to boot on cpus other than 0. I also tested discontiguous cpuids:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 2 cpu : RS64-IV (sstar) clock : 601MHz revision : 0.0
processor : 4
cpu : RS64-IV (sstar)
clock : 601MHz
revision : 0.0
processor : 6
cpu : RS64-IV (sstar)
clock : 601MHz
revision : 0.0
timebase : 601583219
machine : CHRP IBM,7025-F80
So the non linear cpu stuff checks out OK. Nice work Rusty!
