In CONFIG_SMP=y kernels, smp_call_function_single() returns -ENXIO when invoked for a non-existent CPU. In contrast, in CONFIG_SMP=n kernels, a splat is emitted and smp_call_function_single() otherwise silently ignores its "cpu" argument, instead pretending that the caller intended to have something happen on CPU 0. Given that there is now code that expects smp_call_function_single() to return an error if a bad CPU was specified, this difference in semantics needs to be addressed. Bring the semantics of the CONFIG_SMP=n version of smp_call_function_single() into alignment with its CONFIG_SMP=y counterpart. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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.
