It looks like the s390/s390x files need to use "get_highest_cpu_online()-1" (like x86_64 and ppc64) in order to determine the number of cpus to account for. As it is now, they do this, and would therefore only account for the first 3 cpus: int s390x_get_smp_cpus(void) { return get_cpus_online(); } int s390_get_smp_cpus(void) { return get_cpus_online(); }
