From df8ce9d78a4e7fbe7ddfd8ccee3ecaaa0013e883 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2016 08:48:44 +0200 Subject: smp: Add function to execute a function synchronously on a CPU On some hardware models (e.g. Dell Studio 1555 laptop) some hardware related functions (e.g. SMIs) are to be executed on physical CPU 0 only. Instead of open coding such a functionality multiple times in the kernel add a service function for this purpose. This will enable the possibility to take special measures in virtualized environments like Xen, too.
