OpenRISC borrows its timer sync logic from MIPS, Matt helped to review the OpenRISC implementation and noted that we may suffer the same deadlock case that MIPS has faced. The case being: "the MIPS timer synchronization code contained the possibility of deadlock. If you mark a CPU online before it goes into the synchronize loop, then the boot CPU can schedule a different thread and send IPIs to all "online" CPUs. It gets stuck waiting for the secondary to ack it's IPI, since this secondary CPU has not enabled IRQs yet, and is stuck waiting for the master to synchronise with it. The system then deadlocks." Fix this by moving set_cpu_online() to after timer sync. Reported-by: Matt Redfearn <matt.redfearn@mips.com> Signed-off-by: Stafford Horne <shorne@gmail.com> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
