NO, I did not start any tracing before doing my testing.

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
0

# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
X

# LC_ALL=C cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flushed/enable
cat: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flushed/enable: No such
file or directory

Looks like I need to enable...?

# CONFIG_DEBUG_TLBFLUSH is not set

To answer your question...

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
1

# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
0

[ 375.337050] intel_pstate CPU 1 exiting
[ 375.351069] smpboot: CPU 1 is now offline

So, this did not happen this time.
