The later needs it, otherwise the nmi watchdog can get into the scene and kill us with a hammer. Enabling irqs here used to trigger a bug in i386. This is because time irq handling relies upon structures that are only initialized after smp initcalls (More precisely, it will find per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu)->cb_pending list not initialized and crash) Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/smpboot_32.c b/arch/x86/kernel/smpboot_32.c index dbfaeb30a69..bd2f8863efa 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/smpboot_32.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/smpboot_32.c @@ -167,7 +167,9 @@ static void __cpuinit smp_callin(void) /* * Get our bogomips. */ + local_irq_enable(); calibrate_delay(); + local_irq_disable(); Dprintk("Stack at about %p\n",&cpuid); /*
