[PATCH] cpufreq: powernv: fix stack bloat and NR_CPUS limitation

From: John Hubbard
Date: Thu Oct 17 2019 - 20:04:45 EST


The following build warning occurred on powerpc 64-bit builds:

drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.c: In function 'init_chip_info':
drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.c:1070:1: warning: the frame size of 1040 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This is due to putting 1024 bytes on the stack:

unsigned int chip[256];

...and while looking at this, it also has a bug: it fails with a stack
overrun, if CONFIG_NR_CPUS > 256.

Fix both problems by dynamically allocating based on CONFIG_NR_CPUS.

Hi,

I have only compile-tested this, so I would appreciate if anyone
could do a basic runtime test on it. But (famous last words) it
seems simple enough that I'm confident it's correct. oh boy. :)

thanks,
