I prefer your patch copying ARM64. You could throw get_cpus_present() in there, but it wouldn't apply to 2.6.29 and earlier kernels.

Hi I have tried the arm_get_smp_cpus implementation given below and it works fine on all examples I have tested. What about ARM64? Same update?

I take that back -- I've got an ARM ramdump where they take all cpus offline before taking the dump. How about this: static int arm_get_smp_cpus(void) { int cpus; if (cpus = get_cpus_present()) return cpus; else return MAX(get_cpus_online(), get_highest_cpu_online()+1); } It covers all bases with all the sample dumpfiles I've got on hand.

On the ARM64 core files I have, I see similar problems as on ARM and the same fix solves the problems for ARM64 as well.
