Wrong number of CPUs in /proc/cpuinfo when using Virtual Processor in PowerPC
Issue
- When reserving 4 cores with HMC (Hardware Management Console) in a LPAR, the Operating System shows 16 cores.
- Reserved 4 cores not 4 physical processors, HMC shows the correct value (4) that diverges from Operating System.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x
- IBM Power 770
- PowerPC (ppc) architecture
