generic_secondary_common_init() calls LOAD_REG_ADDR(r7, nr_cpu_ids) conditionally on CONFIG_SMP. However, if 'NR_CPUS == 1', kernel doesn't use the nr_cpu_ids, and in C code, it's just: #if NR_CPUS == 1 #define nr_cpu_ids ... This series makes declaration of nr_cpu_ids conditional on NR_CPUS == 1, and that reveals the issue, because compiler can't link the LOAD_REG_ADDR(r7, nr_cpu_ids) against nonexisting symbol. Current code looks unsafe for those who build kernel with CONFIG_SMP=y and NR_CPUS == 1. This is weird configuration, but not disallowed. Fix the linker error by replacing LOAD_REG_ADDR() with LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() conditionally on NR_CPUS == 1. As the following patch adds CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS option that has the similar effect on nr_cpu_ids, make the generic_secondary_common_init() conditional on it too.

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.
