I used to have two cpus, and Thinkpad X60 should have two cores, but I
only see one on 4.10-rc1. This machine went through many
suspend/resume cycles. When backups finish, I'll try -rc2.
Whoever did it, he seems to have returned the cpu in -rc3. All seems
to be good now.
Actually since you have mentioned - I have checked my x60 - same problem -
only one CPU. However I was running 4.8.13 with uptime 33 days, multiple
sleep/wake-ups.
Installed a current EOL 4.8.17 and rebooted - I see 2 CPUs. So the issue is
older then 4.10 kernel, and I suspect it is the CPU hotplug / wakeup
related...
Hmm. So I seen two cores in -rc3 after boot. But it is quite well
possible that -rc1 was ok just after boot, too, and problem happened
sometime later (probably during suspend/resume cycles). Let me go back
to -rc1 to check.
Indeed in -rc1 I see both CPUs after boot. So we have hard to
reproduce case where 4.8 to 4.10 kernels lose one of the cpu cores...



Managed to duplicate - but it took again a long time - I have an uptime of 29 days.
It must have happened in the last day, as I kept checking as often as I remembered.

The kernel is 4.8.17 EOL, installed almost a month ago.
Platform ThinkPad x60, Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU T2400 @ 1.83GHz

In dmesg I see that it used to be when 2 CPUs were OK:

Then the CPU1 failed to start:

Is there any test I could do on the CPU wakeup while in that state?
