[PATCH 3/4] Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id -x86_64

From: Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao
Date: Wed Apr 04 2007 - 04:56:55 EST


hard_smp_processor_id used to be just a macro that hard-coded
hard_smp_processor_id to 0 in the non SMP case. When booting non SMP
kernels on hardware where the boot ioapic id is not 0 this turns out to
be a problem. This is happens frequently in the case of kdump and once
in a great while in the case of real hardware.

Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id in both UP and SMP
kernels to fix this issue.

Notice that hard_smp_processor_id is only used by SMP code or by code
that works
with apics so we do not need to handle the case when apics are not
present and hard_smp_processor_id should never be called there.
