[PATCH] xen/events: xen_evtchn_fifo_init can be called very late

From: Julien Grall
Date: Mon Jan 27 2014 - 19:34:43 EST


On ARM, xen_init_IRQ (which calls xen_evtchn_fifo_init) is called after
all CPUs are online. It would mean that the notifier will never be called.

Therefore, when a secondary CPU will receive an interrupt, Linux will segfault
because the event channel structure for this processor is not initialized.

This can be fixed by calling the init function on every online cpu when the
event channel fifo driver is initialized.
