From: Yury Norov <yury.norov@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 546a073d628111e3338af689938407e77d5dc38f ] generic_secondary_common_init() calls LOAD_REG_ADDR(r7, nr_cpu_ids) conditionally on CONFIG_SMP. However, if 'NR_CPUS == 1', kernel doesn't use the nr_cpu_ids, and in C code, it's just: #if NR_CPUS == 1 #define nr_cpu_ids ... This series makes declaration of nr_cpu_ids conditional on NR_CPUS == 1, and that reveals the issue, because compiler can't link the LOAD_REG_ADDR(r7, nr_cpu_ids) against nonexisting symbol. Current code looks unsafe for those who build kernel with CONFIG_SMP=y and NR_CPUS == 1. This is weird configuration, but not disallowed. Fix the linker error by replacing LOAD_REG_ADDR() with LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() conditionally on NR_CPUS == 1. As the following patch adds CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS option that has the similar effect on nr_cpu_ids, make the generic_secondary_common_init() conditional on it too.
