  • Found one x2apic pre-enabled system, x2apic_mode suddenly get
    corrupted after register some cpus, when compiled
    CONFIG_NR_CPUS=255 instead of 512.

    It turns out that generic_processor_info() ==> phyid_set(apicid,
    phys_cpu_present_map) causes the problem.

    phys_cpu_present_map is sized by MAX_APICS bits, and pre-enabled
    system some cpus have an apic id > 255.

    The variable after phys_cpu_present_map may get corrupted
    silently:

    ffffffff828e8420 B phys_cpu_present_map
    ffffffff828e8440 B apic_verbosity
    ffffffff828e8444 B local_apic_timer_c2_ok
    ffffffff828e8448 B disable_apic
    ffffffff828e844c B x2apic_mode
    ffffffff828e8450 B x2apic_disabled
    ffffffff828e8454 B num_processors
    ...

    Actually phys_cpu_present_map is referenced via apic id, instead
    index. We should use MAX_LOCAL_APIC instead MAX_APICS.

    For 64-bit it will be 32768 in all cases. BSS will increase by 4k bytes
    on 64-bit:

    text data bss dec filename
    21696943 4193748 12787712 38678403 vmlinux.before
    21696943 4193748 12791808 38682499 vmlinux.after

    No change on 32bit.

    Finally we can remove MAX_APCIS that was rather confusing.

  • Impact: cleanup, solve 80 columns wrap problems

    It would be cleaner to rename all the mpf->mpf_X fields to
    mpf->X - that alone would give 4 characters per usage site.
    (we already know that it's an 'mpf' entity -
    no need to duplicate that in the field too)

  • Impact: cleanup, solve 80 columns wrap problems

    intel_mp_floating should be renamed to mpf_intel.

    The reason: the 'f' in MPF already means 'floating'
    which means MP Floating pointer structure -
    no need to repeat that in the type name.
