I think I agree... Modules definitely shouldn't easily be able to write cpu_logical_map. I'll rework something and repost.

It is reasonable for loadable modules to be CPU topology aware (particular examples include cpufreq and cpuidle drivers). This patch exports __cpu_logical_map, so that modules can use the cpu_logical_map() interface declared in <asm/smp_plat.h>. Signed-off-by: Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org> --- If anyone has a strong view on whether this should be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), I don't have a problem with changing that. I'm not sure of the precise etiquette here. Certainly this does not feel like a very "public" interface. Perhaps we should wrap this in a real function for export to modules, rather than encouraging them to poke the __cpu_logical_map[] array (albeit via a predefined macro). arch/arm/kernel/setup.c | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
