- jacquesm 4y agoAbsolutely nobody hotplugs a CPU for power management.

- jacquesm 4y agoThat's marketing overloading a term, not technology.
- canarypilot 4y agoSigh… I guess we’re doing this! The term cpu-hotplug in the arm world almost never means hot-adding a new package/die to the platform, we usually mean taking CPUs online/offline for power management. e.g. cpuhp_offline_cpu_device() https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg739722.html https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg739722.html
