Hi,
[1]this commit removes the "sysdev" symlink from the cpu device-subtree
of sysfs. The files that were found in "sysdev" are now located in
"physical_node" which is also a symlink.
VBoxServiceCpuHotPlug.cpp relies on the former symlink:
279 /* Get the sysdev */
280 uint32_t idCore = RTLinuxSysFsReadIntFile(10,
"%s/sysdev/topology/core_id",
281 pszPathCurr);
282 uint32_t idPackage = RTLinuxSysFsReadIntFile(10,
"%s/sysdev/topology/physical_package_id",
283 pszPathCurr);
and since VBoxService now can't match a cpu, it dies whenever there is an
attempt to "unplugcpu" by the host:
# VBoxService -fvvv --disable-automount

The issuer of unplugcpu gets this in return:
$ VBoxManage controlvm pintail unplugcpu 1
VBoxManage: error: Hot-Remove was aborted because the CPU may still be
used by the guest
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_VM_ERROR (0x80bb0003),
component Console, interface IConsole, callee nsISupports
VBoxManage: error: Context: "HotUnplugCPU(n)" at line 135 of file
VBoxManageControlVM.cpp
Not sure how to fix this properly since the change needs to be backward
compatible and I'm not very familiar with the source yet.
