x86: modify Kconfig to allow up to 4096 cpus
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
  * Increase the limit of NR_CPUS to 4096 and introduce a boolean
    called "MAXSMP" which when set (e.g. "allyesconfig"), will set
    NR_CPUS = 4096 and NODES_SHIFT = 9 (512).

  * Changed max setting for NODES_SHIFT from 15 to 9 to accurately
    reflect the real limit.

This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 255 and the
kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 4096 and the
minimum value which makes sense is 2.

This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.
