From 3bb5d2ee396aabaa4e318f17e94d13e2ee0e5a88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:08:50 -0700 Subject: smp, idle: Allocate idle thread for each possible cpu during boot percpu areas are already allocated during boot for each possible cpu. percpu idle threads can be considered as an extension of the percpu areas, and allocate them for each possible cpu during boot. This will eliminate the need for workqueue based idle thread allocation. In future we can move the idle thread area into the percpu area too. [ tglx: Moved the loop into smpboot.c and added an error check when the init code failed to allocate an idle thread for a cpu which should be onlined ] Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Paul E.
