SubjectRe: How to detect multi-core and/or HT-enabled CPUs in 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels

Possibly, but it does not catch all cases.

$grep '"physical id' /erk/kernel/linux-2.6.20-rc2/ -r

returns exactly three lines, for
/erk/kernel/linux-2.6.20-rc2/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/proc.c
/erk/kernel/linux-2.6.20-rc2/arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c
/erk/kernel/linux-2.6.20-rc2/arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c

So what'cha doing about, say, sparc64? Here is its procinfo of a
standard SMP one:

15:31 ares:~ # cat /proc/cpuinfo

Why don't you check it out? 2.4.34 only has the "physical id" string for
x86_64. It does not seem to have CONFIG_SCHED_SMT at all. (Time to leave
the dead horse alone.)
