[ Upstream commit 320bf43190514be5c00e11f47ec2160dd3993844 ]
LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT default value depends on BASE_SMALL:
config LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
default 12 if !BASE_SMALL
default 0 if BASE_SMALL
But, BASE_SMALL is a config of type int and "!BASE_SMALL" is always
evaluated to true whatever is the value of BASE_SMALL.
This patch fixes this by using the correct conditional operator for int
type : BASE_SMALL != 0.
Note: This changes CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=12 to
CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=0 for BASE_SMALL defconfigs, but that will
not be a big impact due to this code in kernel/printk/printk.c:
/* by default this will only continue through for large > 64 CPUs */
if (cpu_extra <= __LOG_BUF_LEN / 2)
return;
Systems using CONFIG_BASE_SMALL and having 64+ CPUs should be quite
rare.
