Hi Thomas, FYI, there are new sparse warnings show up in tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git auto-latest head: e42942691c8262b7fe2a7b88577623082b988217 commit: f97f8f06a49febbc3cb3635172efbe64ddc79700 [23/37] smpboot: Provide infrastructure for percpu hotplug threads All sparse warnings: kernel/smpboot.c:23:8: sparse: symbol 'idle_threads' was not declared.
