The following build warning occurred on powerpc 64-bit builds:

drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.c: In function 'init_chip_info':
drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.c:1070:1: warning: the frame size of 1040 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This is due to putting 1024 bytes on the stack:

    unsigned int chip[256];

...and while looking at this, it also has a bug: it fails with a stack
overrun, if CONFIG_NR_CPUS > 256.

Fix both problems by dynamically allocating based on CONFIG_NR_CPUS.

Fixes: 053819e0bf840 ("cpufreq: powernv: Handle throttling due to Pmax capping at chip level")

Hi,

I have only compile-tested this, so I would appreciate if anyone
could do a basic runtime test on it. But (famous last words) it
seems simple enough that I'm confident it's correct. oh boy. :)

thanks,

How come we are catching this warning after 4 years ?

Newer compilers. And btw, I don't spend a lot of time in powerpc
code, so I just recently ran this, and I guess everyone has been on less
new compilers so far, it seems.

I used a gcc 8.1 cross compiler in this case:

$ $ /blue_exp/kernel/cross-compilers/powerpc64/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

Hmm, okay.

I hope you haven't missed my actual review comments on your patch,
just wanted to make sure we don't end up waiting for each other
indefinitely here :)

Ha, I did overlook those. It's late around here, I guess. :)

I'll send a v2 with those changes.

Good that I reminded you then :)
