[PATCH] x86/smp/32: Remove safe_smp_processor_id()

From: Brian Gerst
Date: Mon Mar 03 2025 - 12:25:01 EST


This function was originally implemented in commit dc2bc768a009 ("stack
overflow safe kdump: safe_smp_processor_id()") to mitigate the CPU
number corruption on a stack overflow. At the time, x86-32 stored the
CPU number in thread_struct, which was located at the bottom of the task
stack and thus vulnerable to an overflow. The CPU number is now located
in percpu memory, so this workaround is no longer needed.
