Found one x2apic pre-enabled system, x2apic_mode suddenly get
corrupted after register some cpus, when compiled
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=255 instead of 512.
It turns out that generic_processor_info() ==> phyid_set(apicid,
phys_cpu_present_map) causes the problem.
phys_cpu_present_map is sized by MAX_APICS bits, and pre-enabled
system some cpus have an apic id > 255.
The variable after phys_cpu_present_map may get corrupted
silently:
ffffffff828e8420 B phys_cpu_present_map
ffffffff828e8440 B apic_verbosity
ffffffff828e8444 B local_apic_timer_c2_ok
ffffffff828e8448 B disable_apic
ffffffff828e844c B x2apic_mode
ffffffff828e8450 B x2apic_disabled
ffffffff828e8454 B num_processors
...
Actually phys_cpu_present_map is referenced via apic id, instead
index. We should use MAX_LOCAL_APIC instead MAX_APICS.
For 64-bit it will be 32768 in all cases. BSS will increase by 4k bytes
on 64-bit:
text data bss dec filename
21696943 4193748 12787712 38678403 vmlinux.before
21696943 4193748 12791808 38682499 vmlinux.after
No change on 32bit.
Finally we can remove MAX_APCIS that was rather confusing.
