[PATCH powerpc 2/2] powerpc: mask smp_processor_id() false positive

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu Feb 10 2011 - 16:57:39 EST


The rtas_event_scan() function uses smp_processor_id() to select a
starting point in cpu_online_mask, and does so under the protection
of get_online_cpus(). This might not select the current processor
in any case, so switch to raw_smp_processor_id().
