x86: fix cpu hotplug crash
Vegard Nossum reported crashes during cpu hotplug tests:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121413950227884&w=4
In function _cpu_up, the panic happens when calling
__raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time. Kernel doesn't panic when
calling it at the first time. If just say because of nr_cpu_ids, that's
not right.
By checking the source code, I found that function do_boot_cpu is the culprit.
Consider below call chain:
_cpu_up=>__cpu_up=>smp_ops.cpu_up=>native_cpu_up=>do_boot_cpu.
So do_boot_cpu is called in the end. In do_boot_cpu, if
boot_error==true, cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_possible_map) is executed. So later
on, when _cpu_up calls __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time to
report CPU_UP_CANCELED, because this cpu is already cleared from
cpu_possible_map, get_cpu_sysdev returns NULL.
Many resources are related to cpu_possible_map, so it's better not to
change it.
Below patch against 2.6.26-rc7 fixes it by removing the bit clearing in
cpu_possible_map.
