           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.
