Hi Jisheng,
Just to clarify, you're saying this both fixes the boot regression,
and fixes a hotplug crash? I was slightly thrown off by the "doesn't
fix the boot time regression", holler if there's still something wrong
with boot time.
The splat you pasted suggests the CPU isn't coming back online. Off
the top of my head I can't think of what that might be or why this
patch would fix it. I tried this on an old palmer/for-next and didn't
repro the issue:
# echo 0 > online
[ 31.777280] CPU3: off
[ 31.777740] CPU3 may not have stopped: 3
# echo 1 > online
[ 36.236313] cpu3: Ratio of byte access time to unaligned word
access is 7.26, unaligned accesses are fast
FWIW, Palmer's for-next branch now has the v2 of this patch. I
verified that branch is booting, and hotplug seems to work as well.
