That function ends with an atomic bitop (it has to, at the very least it must not be weaker than store-release) but also has an explicit wmb() to order setup vs CPU_STARTING. (arguably that should be a full fence *AND* get a comment) There is no way the smp_processor_id() referred to in this comment can land before cpu_init() even without the barrier(). > - /* Check TSC synchronization with the control CPU: */ > + > + /* > + * Check TSC synchronization with the control CPU, which will do > + * its part of this from wait_cpu_online(), making it an implicit > + * synchronization point. > + */ > check_tsc_sync_target(); > > /*
