This per CPU variable is just yet another form of voodoo programming. The
boot ordering is:
per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid, cpu) = 1U << cpu;
.....
setup_apic()
apic->init_apic_ldr()
default_init_apic_ldr()
apic_write(SET_APIC_LOGICAL_ID(1UL << smp_processor_id(), APIC_LDR);
id = GET_APIC_LOGICAL_ID(apic_read(APIC_LDR);
WARN_ON(id != per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid, cpu));
per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid, cpu) = id;
So first write the default into LDR and then validate it against the same default
which was set up during early boot APIC enumeration.
Brilliant, isn't it?
The comment above the per CPU variable declaration describes it well:
'Let's keep it ugly for now.'
Remove the useless gunk and use '1U << cpu' consistently all over the place.

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.
