cpu_possible_mask is fixed after boot, so it makes sense
to calculate number of possible cpus to
a) make num_possible_cpus() faster (distros ship with _large_ NR_CPUS),
b) unscrew codegen elsewhere replacing function call
with simple memory load.

So why not do the obvious and have: #define num_possible_cpus() nr_cpu_ids and make nr_cpu_ids __ro_after_init? Which made me look at CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS. That's simply broken because: static inline void set_nr_cpu_ids(unsigned int nr) { #if (NR_CPUS == 1) || defined(CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS) WARN_ON(nr != nr_cpu_ids); #else nr_cpu_ids = nr; #endif } So if num_possible_cpus() != nr_cpu_ids then everything after that becomes lottery. If that hard-coded NR_CPUS is actually worth it then this WARN_ON() is just wrong. The only sensible solution to that is to make it a BUG_ON(). Thanks, tglx

There are a lot of calls to set_cpu_possible(). Perhaps calculating num_possible_cpus within there would reduce risk of things getting out of sync, either now or in the future. reset_cpu_possible_mask() appears to have no callers. Kill?
