Fix kernel warning on my 4cpus 2core_id system. The cpu0 and cpu1 have
same core_id 0, so both cpu0 and cpu1 will try to create file temp2_label
when it's online.

What system/cpu is that ?

Normally I would assume that each CPU (package) instantiates
a separate instance of the driver.

The system is ThinkPad X1 Carbon 3rd laptop, model 20BTS1N70F.


- coretemp_cpu_online(cpu=0)
    - create_core_data(cpu=0, attr_no=2)
     - create_core_attrs(attr_no=2)
- coretemp_cpu_online(cpu=1)
    - create_core_data(cpu=1, attr_no=2)
     - create_core_attrs(attr_no=2)

$ grep -e processor -e 'core id' /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
core id         : 0
processor       : 1
core id         : 0
processor       : 2
core id         : 1
processor       : 3
core id         : 1

Complete output of /proc/cpuinfo might be helpful.

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 61
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz

This is a hyperthreading CPU, which should already be handled,

Do you mean that for my system, coretemp_cpu_online should only
be called twice instead of four times to create two core attrs?


coretemp_add_core() should only be called twice, and cpumask_intersects()
should filter out the duplicate ones.

        /*
         * Check whether a thread sibling is already online. If not add the
         * interface for this CPU core.
         */
        if (!cpumask_intersects(&pdata->cpumask, topology_sibling_cpumask(cpu)))
                coretemp_add_core(pdev, cpu, 0);

Thomas, is it possible that something is wrong with this code ?

Guenter

and the problem would affect pretty much everyone. I'll have
to look into this more closely. Is this with the ToT kernel ?

What's a ToT kernel? The kernel I built was the latest
kernel-4.14.0_rc5+ from linus repo.


ToT => Top Of Tree. My apologies, I thought that was a commonly used acronym.
