From 777f81f0a9c780a6443bcf2c7785f0cc2e87c1ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman mpe@ellerman.id.au Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 00:14:04 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/smp: Increase nr_cpu_ids to include the boot CPU
If nr_cpu_ids is too low to include the boot CPU adjust nr_cpu_ids upward. Otherwise the kernel will BUG when trying to allocate a paca for the boot CPU and fail to boot.
