Re: [Xen-devel] A question about CONFIG_SMP

Just a curious question, does anyone still care xen/UP? If yes, current

Just realize this issue when cleanup some IA64 code recently, where
CONFIG_SMP is still unstable and thus UP only.

Is there any benefit to have xen/UP? Reducing image size is the
immediate answer in my head...

It's not supported for xen/x86 at least. Dynamically adding LOCK prefixes if the system turns out to be multiprocessor is the only optimisation I think would be worthwhile. But really multi-processor/core/thread is what we care about.
