powerpc: Don't search for paca in freed memory
Starting with 1426d5a3bd07589534286375998c0c8c6fdc5260 (powerpc: Dynamically allocate pacas) we free the memory for pacas beyond cpu_possible, but we failed to update the loop the secondary cpus use to find their paca. If the system has running cpu threads for which the kernel did not allocate a paca for they will search the memory that was freed. For instance this could happen when the device tree for a kdump kernel was not updated after a cpu hotplug, or the kernel is running with more cpus than the kernel was configured. Since c1854e00727f50f7ac99e98d26ece04c087ef785 (powerpc: Set nr_cpu_ids early and use it to free PACAs) we set nr_cpu_ids before telling the cpus to advance, so use that to limit the search. We can't reference nr_cpu_ids without CONFIG_SMP because it is defined as 1 instead of a memory location, but any extra threads should be sent to kexec_wait in that case anyways, so make that explicit and remove the search loop for UP. Note to stable: The fix also requires c1854e00727f50f7ac99e98d26ece04c087ef785 (powerpc: Set nr_cpu_ids early and use it to free PACAs) to function. Also 9d07bc841c9779b4d7902e417f4e509996ce805d (Properly handshake CPUs going out of boot spin loop) affects the second chunk, specifically the branch target was 3b before and is 4b after that patch, and there was a blank line before the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP that was removed Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .34.x: c1854e0072 powerpc: Set nr_cpu_ids early Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .34.x Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
