[PATCH 2/9] ARM: change NR_IPIS to 8

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Thu Feb 18 2016 - 09:03:58 EST


When function tracing for IPIs is enabled, we get a warning for an
overflow of the ipi_types array with the IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE type
as triggered by raise_nmi():

arch/arm/kernel/smp.c: In function 'raise_nmi':
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:489:2: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
trace_ipi_raise(target, ipi_types[ipinr]);

This is a correct warning as we actually overflow the array here.
To make the tracing work correctly, this extends the array by one
entry and increases NR_IPI accordingly.

This only works after patch e7273ff49acf ("ARM: 8488/1: Make
IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE a "non-secure" SGI"), which changed the number
assignment from '15' to '8'. If we decide to backport this patch
to stable kernels, we probably need to backport e7273ff49acf
as well.

As far as I can tell, the problem has existed since the tracepoints
were originally added, but it only triggered a gcc warning with the
later change to NR_IPIS.
