PATCH] linxu-2.4.23-pre9_cpu-map-fix_A0

[john stultz]

Marcelo, All,

	I noticed on x440s that when HT is disabled in the BIOS I was having
problems properly booting 2.4 in ACPI mode. Further investigation found
a subtle problem w/ smp_boot_cpus() when clustered_acpi_mode is set. 

During bootup, phys_cpu_present_map is initialized by ORing
apicid_to_phys_cpu_present() for each cpu apicid(see MP_processor_info)
On flat mode boxes this translates to "phys_cpu_present_map |=
(1<<apicid)". 

On clustered_apic_mode boxes, since we're using phyiscal apic addresses,
the apicids are not sequential so it is possible the
phys_cpu_present_map can have holes in it (see
apicid_to_phys_cpu_present()). 

The problem arises in smp_boot_cpus() because when we are booting the
cpus, we iterate through each apicid, however we bit-AND
phys_cpu_present_map w/ (1<<apicid)  rather then using
apicid_to_phys_cpu_present(apicid). On clustered apic machines, this may
cause us to try to boot apicids that do not exist. 

The following patch corrects the problem by always bit-ANDing
phys_cpu_present_map with apicid_to_phys_cpu_present(). This is safe for
flat mode boxes, as apicid_to_phys_cpu_present(apicid) translates back
to (1<<apicid).  

Additionally, the patch insures we do not try to boot BAD_APICIDs and
removes a hack that was added to mpparse.c which worked around this
problem in the non-ACPI boot path.

In 2.5 we do not have this problem as we use logical rather then
physical apic addressing. 

Please consider for inclusion in your tree. 

thanks
