[PATCH] [ARM] Unconditional call to smp_cross_call on UP crashes

From: Pantelis Antoniou
Date: Wed May 23 2012 - 13:17:13 EST


omap2plus_defconfig builds with SMP & SMP_ON_UP set.
On beagle (which is UP) is_smp() returns false and we don't call
smp_init_cpus which in turn does not initialize smp_cross_call which
remains NULL.

When issuing a reboot we OOPS with a NULL dereference on stop smp_call.

Fixed by checking is_smp in smp_send_stop()
