Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86, Calculate smp_num_siblings once
Date: Fri, 30 May 2014 07:43:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401450185-23061-3-git-send-email-prarit@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1401450185-23061-1-git-send-email-prarit@redhat.com>
For x86 boxes, smp_num_siblings is set to a value read in a CPUID call in
detect_ht(). This value is the *factory defined* value in all cases; even
if HT is disabled in BIOS the value still returns 2 if the CPU supports
HT. AMD also reports the factory defined value in all cases.
That is, even with threading disabled,
crash> p smp_num_siblings
smp_num_siblings = $1 = 0x2
on processors that support multi-threading.
smp_num_siblings should be calculated a single time on cpu 0 to determine
whether or not the system is multi-threaded or not.
On a system with HT enabled,
crash> p smp_num_siblings
smp_num_siblings = $1 = 0x2
On a system with HT disabled,
crash> p smp_num_siblings
smp_num_siblings = $1 = 0x1
