Indeed SMT works fine if I enable ACPI.
Is SMT without ACPI not supported?

You can pass acpi=ht into the kernel command line to disable
ACPI except the minimum required to get HT support.


That's nice, but I was thinking along the lines of:

Comments? Is this intended?

I would think that you can't do HT without ACPI, so there's no point in building in HT scheduling unless you can have HT.

Is that what you were asking? I was hoping someone else would comment.

Scheduling is getting harder and harder to get right... I have this thought of a Beowolf cluster of NUMA machines, with each node being HT multicore SMP. By "right" I meant "optimal," I'm sure that setup would do something reasonable with current scheduling.
