[PATCH] x86: x86_32 kdump boot on cpu != 0

From: Ed Swierk
Date: Wed Apr 29 2009 - 17:56:31 EST


Booting an x86_32 SMP kernel via kdump fails if the boot CPU has local
APIC ID != 0, with a panic:

Boot APIC ID in local APIC unexpected (1 vs 0)

MP_processor_info() sets boot_cpu_physical_apicid to 0 based on the
mptable. But this variable needs to be set to 1 later on to reflect the
actual local APIC ID. (Setting it to 1 right off the bat causes
generic_processor_info() to complain about an "apic version mismatch",
which I don't understand.)

This change restores the apic_64.c logic, which existed prior to the
merge with apic_32.c, and allows the kdump kernel to boot.
