From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> In MPS mode, "nosmp" and "maxcpus=0" boot a UP kernel with IOAPIC disabled. However, in ACPI mode, these parameters didn't completely disable the IO APIC initialization code and boot failed. init/main.c: Disable the IO_APIC if "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0" undefine disable_ioapic_setup() when it doesn't apply. i386: delete ioapic_setup(), it was a duplicate of parse_noapic() delete undefinition of disable_ioapic_setup() x86_64: rename disable_ioapic_setup() to parse_noapic() to match i386 define disable_ioapic_setup() in header to match i386 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1641 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> --- Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 15 ++++++--------- arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c | 8 -------- arch/x86_64/kernel/io_apic.c | 8 +++----- include/asm-i386/io_apic.h | 1 - include/asm-x86_64/io_apic.h | 6 ++++++ init/main.c | 12 ++++++++++-- 6 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) Index: linus/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt =================================================================== --- linus.orig/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt +++ linus/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt @@ -952,14 +952,10 @@ and is between 256 and 4096 characters.
