4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dexuan Cui decui@microsoft.com
commit 5596fe34495cf0f645f417eb928ef224df3e3cb4 upstream.
for_each_cpu() unintuitively reports CPU0 as set independent of the actual cpumask content on UP kernels. This causes an unexpected PIT interrupt storm on a UP kernel running in an SMP virtual machine on Hyper-V, and as a result, the virtual machine can suffer from a strange random delay of 1~20 minutes during boot-up, and sometimes it can hang forever.
Protect if by checking whether the cpumask is empty before entering the for_each_cpu() loop.
[ tglx: Use !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SMP) instead of #ifdeffery ]
