On UP builds Sparse complains rightfully about accesses to cpu_info with per CPU accessors: cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: expected void const [noderef] __percpu *__vpp_verify cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: got unsigned int * The reason is that on UP builds cpu_info which is a per CPU variable on SMP is mapped to boot_cpu_info which is a regular variable. There is a hideous accessor cpu_data() which tries to hide this, but it's not sufficient as some places require raw accessors and generates worse code than the regular per CPU accessors. Waste sizeof(struct x86_cpuinfo) memory on UP and provide the per CPU cpu_info unconditionally. This requires to update the CPU info on the boot CPU as SMP does. (Ab)use the weakly defined smp_prepare_boot_cpu() function and implement exactly that. This allows to use regular per CPU accessors uncoditionally and paves the way to remove the cpu_data() hackery.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
