This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
x86/acpi: Restore the order of CPU IDsto the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
Dao found a bug in Linux 4.9 LTS which shows below.
The reason of the bug is that we just backport the patch titled
x86/acpi: Restore the order of CPU IDs
but, ignored the other patches in the series[1].
IMO, the commit c962cff17dfa
("Revert "x86/acpi: Set persistent cpuid <-> nodeid mapping when booting"")
in the series can fixed this bug. I suggest to backport it.
BTW, I read the rules in Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst, and found that:
... - It cannot be bigger than 100 lines, with context. ...
I guess it seems that it's the reason why it did not be pulled in stable tree. Is it right? Can you tell more details about it. :-)

Thanks, dou.

From: Dou Liyang douly.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com
[ Upstream commit 2b85b3d22920db7473e5fed5719e7955c0ec323e ]
The following commits:
f7c28833c2 ("x86/acpi: Enable acpi to register all possible cpus at boot time") and 8f54969dc8 ("x86/acpi: Introduce persistent storage for cpuid <-> apicid mapping")
... registered all the possible CPUs at boot time via ACPI tables to make the mapping of cpuid <-> apicid fixed. Both enabled and disabled CPUs could have a logical CPU ID after boot time.
But, ACPI tables are unreliable. the number amd order of Local APIC entries which depends on the firmware is often inconsistent with the physical devices. Even if they are consistent, The disabled CPUs which take up some logical CPU IDs will also make the order discontinuous.
Revert the part of disabled CPUs registration, keep the allocation logic of logical CPU IDs and also keep some code location changes.
