[PATCH v2] powerpc/64: don't refer nr_cpu_ids in asm code when it's undefined

From: Yury Norov
Date: Tue Sep 20 2022 - 19:39:52 EST


generic_secondary_common_init() calls LOAD_REG_ADDR(r7, nr_cpu_ids)
conditionally on CONFIG_SMP. However, if NR_CPUS == 1, kernel doesn't
use the nr_cpu_ids, and in C code, it's just:
#if NR_CPUS == 1
#define nr_cpu_ids
...

The [1] makes declaration of nr_cpu_ids conditional on NR_CPUS == 1,
and that reveals the issue: compiler can't link the
LOAD_REG_ADDR(r7, nr_cpu_ids) against nonexisting symbol.

Current code looks unsafe for those who build kernel with CONFIG_SMP=y and
NR_CPUS == 1. This is weird configuration, but not disallowed.

Fix the linker error by replacing LOAD_REG_ADDR() with LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE()
conditionally on NR_CPUS == 1.

The issue was spotted after applying [1], which adds a CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS
option that has the similar effect on nr_cpu_ids. So, in this patch, make
the LOAD_REG() conditional on CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS too.
