Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] Documentation, x86, apic, kexec: Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter
Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 18:52:04 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131112095204.4902.66160.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131112094952.4902.72689.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6>

Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter to disable the CPU with the
specified number of initial APIC ID, mostly used for the kdump 2nd
kernel to disable BSP to wake up multiple CPUs without causing system
reset or hang due to sending INIT from AP to BSP.
