This happened for systems with more than 64 CPUs with the default config values. I believe that this patch won't have any effect in practice. It is hard to imagine a system with >64 CPUs which would require BASE_SMALL kernel. Well, never say never ;-) > Signed-off-by: Yoann Congal <yoann.congal@smile.fr> > Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> > Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAMuHMdWm6u1wX7efZQf=2XUAHascps76YQac6rdnQGhc8nop_Q@mail.gmail.com/ > Reported-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> > Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/f6856be8-54b7-0fa0-1d17-39632bf29ada@oracle.com/ > Fixes: 4e244c10eab3 ("kconfig: remove unneeded symbol_empty variable") Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Best Regards, Petr

LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT default value depends on BASE_SMALL: config LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT default 12 if !BASE_SMALL default 0 if BASE_SMALL But, BASE_SMALL is a config of type int and "!BASE_SMALL" is always evaluated to true whatever is the value of BASE_SMALL. This patch fixes this by using BASE_FULL (type bool) which is equivalent to BASE_SMALL==0. Note: This changes CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=12 to CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=0 for BASE_SMALL defconfigs, but that will not be a big impact due to this code in kernel/printk/printk.c: /* by default this will only continue through for large > 64 CPUs */ if (cpu_extra <= __LOG_BUF_LEN / 2) return; Systems using CONFIG_BASE_SMALL and having 64+ CPUs should be quite rare.
