Hi
I have several computers with 2 xeon processors with hyperthreading under
FreeBSD 7.1-RC2 and in any case can not turn off hyperthreading:
[old@vmat ~]$ cat /boot/loader.conf
machdep.hyperthreading_allowed="0"
machdep.hlt_logical_cpus="1"
[old@vmat ~]$ sysctl machdep.hyperthreading_allowed
machdep.hyperthreading_allowed: 0
[old@vmat ~]$ sysctl machdep.hlt_logical_cpus
machdep.hlt_logical_cpus: 1
[old@vmat ~]$ sysctl hw.ncpu
hw.ncpu: 4
If machdep.hyperthreading_allowed = "0", the hw.ncpu must be equal to
2?
[old@vmat ~]$ top -nd 1

If machdep.hlt_logical_cpus = "1" in the output top in any case should
not be seen processors 2 and 3?
