Description Ben Thomas 2005-09-02 19:00:36 UTC 
This change makes some slight modifications:

- add "packed" attribute to the cpu_info structure to make it a bit smaller
- add the hyperthread index to the structure
- expose the entire structure via a machdep sysctl (I probably should have
  also added an .h file for the user/kernel to agree on the structure format)


This patch is against the 5_4_0_RELEASE code

Hi John, is this something you might want to have a look at?
Comment 3 John Baldwin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2011-07-07 20:04:29 UTC 
I don't think we want to export cpu_info as raw data in this fashion.  I 
believe we should be using an MI interface to export information about 
available CPUs with info about cores/HTT/NUMA domains, etc.  Brooks is aware 
of an existing API for this sort of thing and Attilio has shown interest in 
this area in the past.

Based on John's reply and PRs idle time closing as "Rejected". Feel free to reopen if there is interest in suggested functionality.
