IRQ affinity masks are not allocated in uniprocessor configurations. This requires special case non-SMP code in drivers for irqchips which have per-CPU enable or mask registers. Since IRQ affinity is always the same in a uniprocessor configuration, we can provide a correct affinity mask without allocating one per IRQ. By returning a real cpumask from irq_data_get_affinity_mask even when SMP is disabled, irqchip drivers which iterate over that mask will automatically do the right thing.

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.
