The current x86 code maps the logical cpus as with the physical ones. In other words its how they come off the mainboard. Which for HT seems to be with each HT as (n, n+1) > understand what is happening. I posted my findings, and I'd really > like to get some feedback from others doing the same thing. I never saw your stuff. > BUT I CAN'T DO THAT WHEN THERE'S NO DISCUSSION ABOUT PATCHES FROM > ANONYMOUS SOURCES WHICH GET MERGED! FUCK ARGHH FUCK FUCK FUCK. A mailing list doesn't scale to that. I do have a cunning-plan (tm) but that requires some work and while its doable for 2.2 or 2.4 I know that making Linus do or change any tiny bit of his behaviour isn't going to happen which rather limits the behaviour. Think about mail patch to linus-patches@... linus-patches@ is a script that does find the diff find the paths in the diff regexp them against the list of notifications email each matching notification a copy with the regexps including * torvalds@transmeta.com so its like mailing Linus but anyone who cares can web add/remove themselves from the cc list, and its invisible to Linus too. > BTW: Alchemy, Voodoo, Zen and Cards. Maybe you should start hacking > on something more deterministic? 8) Well actually Alchemy is MIPS and nothing to do with me. Trying to turn a Voodoo card into a video4linux overlay is, Zen is ftp.linux.org.uk and I hack card drivers. So 3 out of 4.
