Hi All,
[seems the email from my intel email address didn't hit the list,
resend with gmail, sorry for the noise]
When I debugged a suspend/resume bug, I found that tick_broadcast_mask is not
restored for a CPU after it is offline/onlined since kernel 3.4, while it's
fine for 3.3.
Further check show it is caused by the commit 9505626d7bfe
ACPI: Fix unprotected smp_processor_id() in acpi_processor_cst_has_changed()
The acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() function is invoked from a
CPU_ONLINE or CPU_DEAD function, which might well execute on CPU 0
even though the CPU being hotplugged is some other CPU. In addition,
acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() invokes smp_processor_id() without
protection, resulting in splats when onlining CPUs.
This commit therefore changes the smp_processor_id() to pr->id, as is
used elsewhere in the code, for example, in acpi_processor_add().

The root cause is acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() will also be called when
cpu_up() is run on cpu 0 to boot up other cpu, this commit will prevent the
following code be run for that cpu, which triggers some side effect like the
broadcast_mask is not restored.
I raise this problem up and I don't if revert is a good solution here.
Thanks,
Feng
