Hi
Your patch 5fbd036b552f633abb394a319f7c62a5c86a9cd7 breaks PA-RISC boot. I
have a dual-core PA-8800. With the patch applied, the kernel crashes with
these messages. The timer structures are apparently corrupted, as the
timer sees a negative amount of delayed cycles:
Command line for kernel: 'root=/dev/sda5 console=ttyB0 HOME=/
palo_kernel=2/vmlinux-3.4.0-rc5'
Selected kernel: /vmlinux-3.4.0-rc5 from partition 2

Segment 1 load 007dd320 size 597536 mediaptr 0x4bc320
Branching to kernel entry point 0x00100000. If this is the last
message you see, you may need to switch your console. This is
a common symptom -- search the FAQ and mailing list at parisc-linux.org

run some corrupted task on the second core and it crashes in

I tried to put set_cpu_active(cpunum, true) in the startup functions for
the secondary processor (smp_callin, smp_cpu_init) to see if the processor
cannot start if it not active. I actually discovered that it is timing
dependent (if I put set_cpu_active just after set_cpu_online in
smp_cpu_init, it works, if I put set_cpu_active to be executed SOME TIME
after set_cpu_online, it crashes). So the secondary CPU doesn't have
problem with not being marked active, it is actually the main CPU that
causes the crash if the secondary CPU is online and inactive.
I couldn't find out what code executing on the main CPU has problems with
online/inactive secondary CPU. Do you have any ideas?
When I revert your patch, the machine boots and works correctly:
