I see some guy doing it with qemu-ga, but maybe it's also possible with a clean udev rule in guest.


xen is doing it with this udev rules

SUBSYSTEM=="cpu",ACTION=="add",RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ ! -e /sys$devpath/online ] || echo 1 > /sys$devpath/online'" 

I don't known if the event is the same for kvm cpu hotplug.

Objet: [pve-devel] RFC : qemu-server : add cpu_hotplug 

Theses patches are cpu_hotplug feature. 

unplug is not yet available in current qemu. 

This introduce a new "maxcpus" config value. 

If maxcpus is defined, sockets should be set to 1, as we can only hotplug 1cpu/core step by step, up to maxcpus value. 

Tested under debian with kernel 3.2. 

cpu need to be enabled after hotplug in guest with "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online". 
(I'm not sure,but maybe this could be done auto with qemu-ga)
