[PATCH v2 05/10] ARM: bcm: don't special-case CPU 0 in bcm_kona_smc()

From: Alex Elder
Date: Mon Apr 21 2014 - 17:55:51 EST


There's logic in bcm_kona_smc() to ensure __bcm_kona_smc() gets
called on CPU 0; if already executing on CPU 0, that function is
called directly. The direct call is not protected from interrupts,
however, which is not safe.

Note that smp_call_function_single() is designed to handle the case
where the target cpu is the current one. It also gets a reference
to the CPU and disables IRQs across the call.

So we can simplify things and at the same time be protected against
interrupts by calling smp_call_function_single() unconditionally.
