Hi,all In kernel 3.17-rc2, when i set CONFIG_HAVE_SMP = y and CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP = y in .config file. the secondary core can not boot.
when i set CONFIG_HAVE_SMP = y and CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP = n in .config file, the secondary core can boot. But this does not happen in kernel 3.10 lts kernel, Whether the CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP is set yes or no ,the secondary core can boot. Does the meaning of CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP changed or this is a bug in kernel 3.17-rc2 ? I write the following patch to test the return value of is_smp(). ---------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Wang Long <long.wangl...@huawei.com> --- arch/arm/kernel/setup.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/setup.c b/arch/arm/kernel/setup.c index 84db893d..fbeb67f 100644 --- a/arch/arm/kernel/setup.c +++ b/arch/arm/kernel/setup.c @@ -925,6 +925,11 @@ void __init setup_arch(char **cmdline_p) arm_dt_init_cpu_maps(); psci_init(); #ifdef CONFIG_SMP + + if (is_smp() == 1) + printk("is_smp() return true;\n"); + else if (is_smp() == 0) + printk("is_smp() return false;\n"); if (is_smp()) { if (!mdesc->smp_init || !mdesc->smp_init()) { if (psci_smp_available()) kernel version: 3.17-rc2 config: set CONFIG_HAVE_SMP = y and CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP = y command: # qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -smp 2 -m 128M -kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage -nographic The output: .......... is_smp() return false; CPU: Testing write buffer coherency: ok missing device node for CPU 0 CPU0: thread -1, cpu 0, socket 0, mpidr 80000000 Setting up static identity map for 0x604643d8 - 0x60464430 Brought up 1 CPUs SMP: Total of 1 processors activated.
