So far CPU hotplug was ignored for mptable implementations which support it by having the hotpluggable CPUs marked as disabled during boot.
The current kernel code detects that behaviour and actually deals with it properly:
[ 0.000000] Intel MultiProcessor Specification v1.4 [ 0.000000] MPTABLE: OEM ID: KVMCPU00 [ 0.000000] MPTABLE: Product ID: 0.1 [ 0.000000] MPTABLE: APIC at: 0xFEE00000 [ 0.000000] Processor #0 (Bootup-CPU) [ 0.000000] Processor #1 [ 0.000000] Processor #2 [ 0.000000] IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 4, version 17, address 0xfec00000, GSI 0-23 [ 0.000000] Processors: 3 [ 0.000000] smpboot: Allowing 3 CPUs, 1 hotplug CPUs
The problem begins when a user might actually want to online such CPU; there is no interface for him to tell the kernel that the CPU is now present and can be used.
Luckily, the kernel provides a generic interface in the form of 'probe' and 'release' sysfs files which are used on different architectures exactly for that - to probe and release CPUs. On x86 however this was unimplemented until now.
This patch adds code into the x86 implementation of probe and release to allow adding and removing CPUs. This allows machines that use mptable to hotplug CPUs:
sh-4.2# cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/ sh-4.2# cat possible present online 0-3 0-2 0-2 sh-4.2# echo "3 0x14" > probe sh-4.2# cat possible present online 0-3 0-3 0-2 sh-4.2# echo 1 > cpu3/online [ 29.854133] smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 3 APIC 0x3 [ 0.001000] kvm-clock: cpu 3, msr 0:1bd929c1, secondary cpu clock [ 29.872438] KVM setup async PF for cpu 3 [ 29.872790] kvm-stealtime: cpu 3, msr 1bd8d100 [ 29.873276] microcode: CPU3 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x1, revision=0x1 sh-4.2# cat possible present online 0-3 0-3 0-3 sh-4.2# echo 0 > cpu3/online [ 116.146352] Unregister pv shared memory for cpu 3 [ 116.160000] Cannot set affinity for irq 0 [ 116.163068] smpboot: CPU 3 is now offline sh-4.2# cat possible present online 0-3 0-3 0-2 sh-4.2# echo 3 > release sh-4.2# cat possible present online 0-3 0-2 0-2
