[PATCH] x86/smpboot: set topology CPU mask before use.

From: ning . a . zhang
Date: Mon Nov 20 2017 - 21:02:58 EST


From: Zhang Ning <ning.a.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>

we detect topology CPU mask in tsc is used before it is set, it leads
to longer bootup time.

let's check the code.

smpboot.c:smp_callin()
---> calibarate.c:calibrate_delay()
---> tsc.c: calibrate_delay_is_known()
---> topology_core_cpumask(): read topology CPU mask
---> set_cpu_sibling_map(raw_smp_processor_id())
---> cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, topology_core_cpumask(cpu));

from the calling chain, we know topology CPU mask is used before it
actually set.

So move set_cpu_sibling_map before calibrate_delay.
