---|
31 | 31 | ===================== |
---|
32 | 32 | ``maxcpus=n`` |
---|
33 | | - Restrict boot time CPUs to *n*. Say if you have fourV CPUs, using |
---|
| 33 | + Restrict boot time CPUs to *n*. Say if you have four CPUs, using |
---|
34 | 34 | ``maxcpus=2`` will only boot two. You can choose to bring the |
---|
35 | 35 | other CPUs later online. |
---|
36 | 36 | |
---|
37 | 37 | ``nr_cpus=n`` |
---|
38 | | - Restrict the total amount CPUs the kernel will support. If the number |
---|
39 | | - supplied here is lower than the number of physically available CPUs than |
---|
| 38 | + Restrict the total amount of CPUs the kernel will support. If the number |
---|
| 39 | + supplied here is lower than the number of physically available CPUs, then |
---|
40 | 40 | those CPUs can not be brought online later. |
---|
41 | 41 | |
---|
42 | 42 | ``additional_cpus=n`` |
---|
.. | .. |
---|
49 | 49 | This option sets ``possible_cpus`` bits in ``cpu_possible_mask``. |
---|
50 | 50 | |
---|
51 | 51 | This option is limited to the X86 and S390 architecture. |
---|
52 | | - |
---|
53 | | -``cede_offline={"off","on"}`` |
---|
54 | | - Use this option to disable/enable putting offlined processors to an extended |
---|
55 | | - ``H_CEDE`` state on supported pseries platforms. If nothing is specified, |
---|
56 | | - ``cede_offline`` is set to "on". |
---|
57 | | - |
---|
58 | | - This option is limited to the PowerPC architecture. |
---|
59 | 52 | |
---|
60 | 53 | ``cpu0_hotplug`` |
---|
61 | 54 | Allow to shutdown CPU0. |
