Doc Text:	Previously, snmpd did not expect that the CPU number can have more than two digits. As a consequence, snmpd did not show more than 100 processors in the "HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrProcessorTable" object when reading CPU statistics. With this update, snmpd has been modified to no longer make assumptions about the CPU ID length. As a result, "HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrProcessorTable" now shows all CPUs.	Story Points:	---

Description Jan Safranek 2014-02-26 08:21:42 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1069979 +++

Description of problem:
using snmp monitor cpu usage with more than 100 processors. hrProcessorLoad will returns incorrect values for processor #'s > 100

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 5.x RHEL 6.x

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. using snmp monitor cpu usage with more than 100 processors.

Actual results:
hrProcessorLoad will return incorrect values for processor #'s

Expected results:
hrProcessorLoad will return correct values for processor #'s (letter than 100)

Additional info:
http://mailing.unix.net-snmp-users.narkive.com/o21D50GY/hrprocessorload-returns-incorrect-values-for-processor-s-100

The file agent/mibgroup/hardware/cpu/cpu_linux.c: netsnmp_cpu_arch_load() use below  hard code to skip cpuN
  b1 = b2+5; /* Skip "cpuN " */

When processor more than 100, the value will be wrong.
