Hi John,

Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner, too many patches :/

The following build warning occurred on powerpc 64-bit builds:

drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.c: In function 'init_chip_info':
drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.c:1070:1: warning: the frame size of 1040 bytes 
is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

Oddly I don't see that warning in my builds, eg with GCC9:

   https://travis-ci.org/linuxppc/linux/jobs/604870722

This is with a cross-compiler based on gcc 8.1.0, which I got from:
  https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/8.1.0/

I'll put that in the v3 commit description.


This is due to putting 1024 bytes on the stack:

     unsigned int chip[256];

...and while looking at this, it also has a bug: it fails with a stack
overrun, if CONFIG_NR_CPUS > 256.

It _probably_ doesn't, because it only increments the index when the
chip_id of the CPU changes, ie. it doesn't create a chip for every CPU.
But I agree it's flaky the way it's written.

I'll soften up the wording accordingly.


Fix both problems by dynamically allocating based on CONFIG_NR_CPUS.

Shouldn't it use num_possible_cpus() ?

Given the for loop is over possible CPUs that seems like the upper
bound. In practice it should be lower because some CPUs will share a
chip.


OK, I see, that's more consistent with the code, I'll change to that.


thanks,
