Subject: x86: "nosmp" command line option should force the system into UP mode
From: "Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>
Bits set in cpu_possible_mask prior to the execution of
prefill_possible_map() (i.e. when parsing ACPI or MPS tables) would
prevent the SMP alternatives logic from switching to UP mode, plus
unnecessary setup of per-CPU data for CPUs that can never come online.
Additionally, without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled CPUs can never come
online, and hence setting cpu_possible_mask bits for them is again a
simple waste of resources.
