Seems a reasonable enablement change for the server flavour.

The following changes since commit b09a4b6f2843b58a420fa6b75c991c1ed5defe92: Greg Kroah-Hartman (1): Linux 2.6.32.28 are available in the git repository at: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/rtg/ubuntu-lucid.git nr_cpus_256_lp706058 Tim Gardner (1): UBUNTU: [Config] Set CONFIG_NR_CPUS=256 for amd64 server debian.master/config/amd64/config.common.amd64 | 1 - debian.master/config/amd64/config.flavour.generic | 1 + debian.master/config/amd64/config.flavour.preempt | 1 + debian.master/config/amd64/config.flavour.server | 1 + 4 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) From 5d57615ee98ce183935a373c5750b14c32f2d877 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Gardner <tim.gardner@canonical.com> Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 13:05:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU: [Config] Set CONFIG_NR_CPUS=256 for amd64 server BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706058 The CPU hotplug subsytem allocates memory using the per-cpu mechanism. Enough memory is pre-defined by CONFIG_NR_CPUS to accommodate the maximum number of CPUs that can be online. This value is discovered at boot time and is used to trim the actual memory allocated to the real number of CPUs. In effect, CONFIG_NR_CPUS has little impact on memory consumption except for these 9 vairables: kernel/cpu.c:static DECLARE_BITMAP(cpu_possible_bits, CONFIG_NR_CPUS) __read_mostly kernel/cpu.c:static DECLARE_BITMAP(cpu_possible_bits, CONFIG_NR_CPUS) __read_mostly; kernel/cpu.c:static DECLARE_BITMAP(cpu_online_bits, CONFIG_NR_CPUS) __read_mostly; kernel/cpu.c:static DECLARE_BITMAP(cpu_present_bits, CONFIG_NR_CPUS) __read_mostly; kernel/cpu.c:static DECLARE_BITMAP(cpu_active_bits, CONFIG_NR_CPUS) __read_mostly; kernel/sched.c: DECLARE_BITMAP(cpus, CONFIG_NR_CPUS); kernel/sched.c: DECLARE_BITMAP(span, CONFIG_NR_CPUS); kernel/sched.c: static DECLARE_BITMAP(tmpmask, CONFIG_NR_CPUS); mm/slub.c:static DECLARE_BITMAP(kmem_cach_cpu_free_init_once, CONFIG_NR_CPUS); The increase in memory size of these variables is negligible since they are bit map structures. For example, increasing from 64 to 256 only adds 24 bytes per variable.
