I've never seen machines like you said, but it seem they are possible. boot_cpu_init() accounts the fact kernel may boot from not zero CPU: static void __init boot_cpu_init(void) { int cpu = smp_processor_id(); /* Mark the boot cpu "present", "online" etc for SMP and UP case */ set_cpu_online(cpu, true); set_cpu_active(cpu, true); set_cpu_present(cpu, true); set_cpu_possible(cpu, true); } >> Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai <tkhai@yandex.ru> >> CC: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> >> CC: Paul E.

In case of sparc64 the cpu number is configured by boot/openprom. Kernel doesn't change it. I have not touched inside of them, so I don't know. [PATCH] rcu: Fix CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL panic on machines with sparse CPU mask Some architectures have sparse cpu mask. UltraSparc's cpuinfo for example: CPU0: online CPU2: online So, set only possible CPUs when CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL is enabled. Also, check that user passes right 'rcu_nocbs=' option.
