Bligh Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: RE: How to get number of physical CPU in linux from user space? Recent distributions or the AC tree has additional fields in /proc/cpu, which tell - physical package id - number of threads for each CPU. Using this info, you should be able to detect it. The problem is that they are not using the same keywords. I'm asking them to make those fields consistent.

I think about look at bootlog too, but that is not a reliable way because bootlog might already been flush out after some time.
