When switching powerpc to CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, include/sched.h

+#define raw_smp_processor_id() (current->cpu)
But this generates the following compilation error, due to circular
header dependency.

This patch fixes it by including linux/hrtimer.h after linux/sched.h

Should it be fixed in powerpc instead ? In that case, how ? Any
idea ?
Looks like there are several other places where the problem occurs,
so it
has to be fixed in the powerpc headers instead.
Seems like RISC arch faced the same issue, and fixed it the following
way:
/*
* This is particularly ugly: it appears we can't actually get the
definition
* of task_struct here, but we need access to the CPU this task is
running
on.
* Instead of using C we're using asm-offsets.h to get the current
processor
* ID.
*/
#define raw_smp_processor_id() (*((int*)((char*)get_current() +
TASK_TI_CPU)))
Unless someone has a better idea, I'll fixed it that way.
To solve this on arm64 we made the cpu number a percpu variable; see
commit:
57c82954e77fa12c ("arm64: make cpu number a percpu variable")
Thanks, I'll have a look
IIUC, you could do that by placing it in paca_struct.
By the way, it is already in PACA struct for PPC64.
The issue is with PPC32, up to now it was in current_thread_info:
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
#define raw_smp_processor_id() (local_paca->paca_index)
#define hard_smp_processor_id() (get_paca()->hw_cpu_id)
#else
/* 32-bit */
extern int smp_hw_index[];
#define raw_smp_processor_id() (current_thread_info()->cpu)
#define hard_smp_processor_id() (smp_hw_index[smp_processor_id()])
[..]
#endif
It seems not that easy. Adding the following leads to the below failure.
I'm having a hard time identifying and fixing the issue. Looks again
like a circular thing, because linux/percpu-defs.h is where
raw_cpu_ptr() is defined.
