I've just installed 4.9-Release on a twin Xeon system and compiled a generic
SMP kernel (GENERIC with SMP and APIC_IO enabled).
The problem I'm having is the system is using the logical HyperThreading
CPUs even though I don't want it to.
The errata for 4.9-Release says that the logical CPUs are prevented from
executing user processes by default, they are not. It also says you can
control this behaviour by change the value of the machdep.hlt_logical_cpus
sysctl(8) variable. My sysctl doesn't seem to know about this variable.
I've checked the archives and someone else had this problem back in November
but I can't see any replys other than "machdep.hlt_logical_cpus should be
there".
Can anyone offer some advise please.
Thanks,
Jonathan
