The ACPI bus scan will only result in acpi_processor_add() being called if _STA has already been checked and the result is that the processor is enabled and present. Hence drop this additional check.

Now I think we only need to explicitly read STA to print a warning in the ARM64 arch_unregister_cpu() path where we want to know if the present bit has been unset as well. --- drivers/acpi/acpi_processor.c | 6 ------ 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/acpi_processor.c b/drivers/acpi/acpi_processor.c index 7fc924aeeed0..ba0a6f0ac841 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/acpi_processor.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/acpi_processor.c @@ -186,17 +186,11 @@ static void __init acpi_pcc_cpufreq_init(void) {} #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU static int acpi_processor_hotadd_init(struct acpi_processor *pr) { - unsigned long long sta; - acpi_status status; int ret; if (invalid_phys_cpuid(pr->phys_id)) return -ENODEV; - status = acpi_evaluate_integer(pr->handle, "_STA", NULL, &sta); - if (ACPI_FAILURE(status) || !(sta & ACPI_STA_DEVICE_PRESENT)) - return -ENODEV; - cpu_maps_update_begin(); cpus_write_lock(); -- 2.39.2
