Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.1.10.0809261613070.21618@gandalf.stny.rr.com> Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 16:22:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org> To: Mike Travis <travis@....com> cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>, LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: num_possible_cpus() giving more than possible. Hi Mike, Peter told me that I should report this to you. I have two socket single core hyper threaded box (must be hell). Peter told me that the num_possible_cpus() should return the number possible on this box. The explanation of my box tells us it should be 4. But it in fact returns 8. nr_cpu_ids also returns 8. here's the /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2793.151 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc pebs bts nopl pni monitor ds_cpl cid cx16 xtpr bogomips : 5586.30 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 128 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2793.151 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 3 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 6 initial apicid : 6 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc pebs bts nopl pni monitor ds_cpl cid cx16 xtpr bogomips : 5586.20 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 128 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 2 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2793.151 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc pebs bts nopl pni monitor ds_cpl cid cx16 xtpr bogomips : 5586.23 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 128 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 3 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2793.151 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 3 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 7 initial apicid : 7 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc pebs bts nopl pni monitor ds_cpl cid cx16 xtpr bogomips : 5586.27 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 128 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: Perhaps since my physical ids show 0 and 3, it thinks it can also have a 1 and 2?
