From 6a6c0272f17cc80a8286d915f2ddf31557c2d559 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 14:11:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] alpha: Fix preemption handling in idle loop cpu_idle() is called on the boot CPU by the init code with preemption disabled. But the cpu_idle() function in alpha doesn't handle this when it calls schedule() directly. Fix it by converting it into schedule_preempt_disabled(). Also disable preemption before calling cpu_idle() from secondary CPU entry code to stay consistent with this state.
