Summary: only one CPU is detected when dom0 boots up
Product: Xen
Version: unstable
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Guest-OS
AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: ping.y.yu@xxxxxxxxx
CC: xiao.zhang@xxxxxxxxx
Buildingx en0 kernel with bulidconfig/linux-defconfig_xen0_x86_64
orbulidconfig/linux-defconfig_xen0_x86_64, with "CONFIG_SMP=y". When dom0
boots up, /proc/cpuinfo will show only one CPU for SMP. Howwever, "uname -a"
will show the kernel is SMP.
After investigation, I found change set 10139 cause the problem.
some discuss in xen-devel is attached.

It's needed for domU's. Dom0 can bring up SMP without hotplug
infrastructure.
