Subject: [RFC][PATCH] CONFIG_NR_CPUS for 2.4.21
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2003 00:23:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030618222336.GC3768@werewolf.able.es> (raw)
Hi all...
This adds support for defining max CPU number at compile time. It is safe
for old .configs, because it defaults to current fixed max values.
Could you consider for applying ?
TIA

+Maximum number of CPUs
+CONFIG_NR_CPUS
+ This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
+ kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 32 for 32-bit
+ architectures and 64 for the 64-bits ones. The mimimum value which
+ makes sense is 2.
+
+ This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
+ approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.
