Hi all,
is hyperthreading (HTT) available in opnsense 19.1.x? The APU2 I have seems to have HTT capability as per the dmesg CPU feature flags:
CPU: AMD GX-412TC SOC (998.15-MHz K8-class CPU)
Origin="AuthenticAMD" Id=0x730f01 Family=0x16 Model=0x30 Stepping=1
Features=0x178bfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,HTT> -> see at the very end
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs
FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s)
and sysctl machdep.hyperthreading_allowed: 1 allows it.
Still, I only see 4 physical CPU cores according to:
hw.ncpu: 4
Are there any settings in the OS that prohibit the usage of HTT? Or is this a coreboot BIOS defect?
