Subject: [PATCH] add init_start_cpus to config boot cpus -v2
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2008 23:28:36 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4944B5A4.9060706@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081213221842.583f1e38.akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Impact: new command line
so could select cpus to be started during init stage.
example:
init_start_cpus=2,4,6
to start core 0 only on every node or thread 0 or all cores
init_start_cpus=0
not start other APs, and later let user to use
echo 1 > /sys/devices/cpu/cpu2
to start them in user space.
