BTW, I'm only running it on Cavium board because of limited source, so if anyone is interested to test it on other board, that's great :) Yong Zhang (8): MIPS: Octeon: delay enable irq to ->smp_finish() MIPS: BMIPS: delay irq enable to ->smp_finish() MIPS: SMTC: delay irq enable to ->smp_finish() MIPS: Yosemite: delay irq enable to ->smp_finish() MIPS: call ->smp_finish() a little late MIPS: call set_cpu_online() on the uping cpu with irq disabled MIPS: smp: Warn on too early irq enable MIPS: sync-r4k: remove redundant irq operation arch/mips/cavium-octeon/smp.c | 2 +- arch/mips/kernel/smp-bmips.c | 14 +++++++------- arch/mips/kernel/smp.c | 12 +++++++++--- arch/mips/kernel/smtc.c | 3 ++- arch/mips/kernel/sync-r4k.c | 5 ----- arch/mips/pmc-sierra/yosemite/smp.c | 2 +- 6 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) -- 1.7.5.4
