SubjectRe: How to get number of physical CPU in linux from user space?
I rebuilt 2.5.44 with the ACPI stuff enabled, and I see 2 cpus in 
/proc/cpuinfo:

daedalus@hercules daedalus $ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 2
model name : Intel(R) XEON(TM) CPU 2.20GHz
stepping : 4
cpu MHz : 2200.469
cache size : 512 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
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
bogomips : 4341.76

processor : 1
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 2
model name : Intel(R) XEON(TM) CPU 2.20GHz
stepping : 4
cpu MHz : 2200.469
cache size : 512 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes

mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm
bogomips : 4390.91


Also dmesg says:

daedalus@hercules daedalus $ dmesg

CPU1: Intel(R) XEON(TM) CPU 2.20GHz stepping 04
Total of 2 processors activated (8732.67 BogoMIPS).


And a bit further down...

checking TSC synchronization across 2 CPUs: passed.
Starting migration thread for cpu 0
Bringing up 1
CPU 1 IS NOW UP!
Starting migration thread for cpu 1
CPUS done 4294967295

And down some more we seem to have 4 cpus...

ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports C1)
ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports C1)
ACPI: Processor [CPU2] (supports C1)
ACPI: Processor [CPU3] (supports C1)

I think with ACPI disabled I had 4 processors listed in /proc/cpuinfo,
but I'll check.
