smp_prepare_boot_cpu() reads the cpuid of the first CPU, printing a
message to state which processor booted, and setting it online and
present.

This cpuid is retrieved from per_cpu(cpu_data, 0).cpuid, which is
initialised in arch/parisc/kernel/processor.c:processor_probe() thusly:

	p = &amp;per_cpu(cpu_data, cpuid);
...
	p-&gt;cpuid = cpuid;	/* save CPU id */

Consequently, the cpuid retrieved seems to be guaranteed to also be
zero, meaning that the message printed in this boils down to:

	pr_info("SMP: bootstrap CPU ID is 0\n");

Moreover, since kernel/cpu.c::boot_cpu_init() already sets CPU 0 to
be present and online, there is no need to do this again in
smp_prepare_boot_cpu().

Remove this code, and simplify the printk().

The init/main.c file contains some extern declarations for functions
defined in architecture code, and it defines some other functions that are
called from architecture code with a custom prototype.  Both of those
result in warnings with 'make W=1':

To be able to trace invocations of smp_send_reschedule(), rename the

<title>profile: setup_profiling_timer() is moslty not implemented</title>

<id>787dbea11a5d6843999ff71a3fb9aa1ed6d5d889</id>
<content type='text'>
The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:

When CPU hotplugging is enabled, the user may want to remove the
current CPU which is providing the timer ticks. If this happens
we need to find a new timesync master.

<title>parisc: Implement __cpu_die() and __cpu_disable() for CPU hotplugging</title>

Add relevant code to __cpu_die() and __cpu_disable() to finally enable
the CPU hotplugging features. Reset the irq count values in smp_callin()
to zero before bringing up the CPU.

It seems that the firmware may need up to 8 seconds to fully stop a CPU
in which no other PDC calls are allowed to be made. Use a timeout
__cpu_die() to accommodate for this.

Use "chcpu -d 1" to bring CPU1 down, and "chcpu -e 1" to bring it up.
