Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

nr_cpu_ids can be limited on the command line via nr_cpus=. This can break the logical package management because it results in a smaller number of packages while in kdump kernel. Check below case: There is a two sockets system, each socket has 8 cores, which has 16 logical cpus while HT was turn on. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 cores on socket 0 threads on socket 0 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 cores on socket 1 threads on socket 1 While starting the kdump kernel with command line option nr_cpus=16 panic was triggered on one of the cpus 24-31 eg. 26, then online cpu will be 1-15, 26(cpu 0 was disabled in kdump), ncpus will be 16 and __max_logical_packages will be 1, but actually two packages were booted on. This issue can reproduced by set kdump option nr_cpus=<real physical core numbers>, and then trigger panic on last socket's thread, for example: taskset -c 26 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger Use total_cpus which will not be limited by nr_cpus command line to calculate the value of __max_logical_packages.
