From f65c9bb3fb725551d3e405f4d092caf24929cebe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Liu, Jinsong" Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 20:38:08 +0800 Subject: xen/pcpu: Xen physical cpus online/offline sys interface This patch provide Xen physical cpus online/offline sys interface. User can use it for their own purpose, like power saving: by offlining some cpus when light workload it save power greatly. Its basic workflow is, user online/offline cpu via sys interface, then hypercall xen to implement, after done xen inject virq back to dom0, and then dom0 sync cpu status.
