            Bug ID: 234778
           Summary: Only 1 CPU core out of 4 is usable on RPi2 v1.2
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.0-STABLE
          Hardware: arm
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: arm
          Assignee: freebsd-arm@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: t_uemura@macome.co.jp

The architecture of recent 12-STABLE for RPi2 (32 bit) is armv7, rather than
armv6 on 11-STABLE. This means that there is a chance that the same build c=
an
run also on RPi2 v1.2 equipped with the newer ARMv8 based BCM2837 SoC.

Actually, the build works almost perfectly on v1.2 board except one big iss=
ue,
that only 1 CPU logical core is used/assigned to all processes and the
remaining 3 cores are completely ignored, despite all 4 cores are listed in
top, for example.

This doesn't happen on v1.1 board. The same microSD (just pulled out from v=
1.2
board) runs fine on v1.1 board. I can't see any significant differences bet=
ween
both boards in top, dmesg or sysctl output.

The OS is r341492, rpi-firmware is 1.20180619 or the GIT rev. 077fbe8 (as of
6th Dec. 2018) and u-boot is 2018.11.
