hi
i would like to implement an Multiprocessor [mp] support for an linux operating system.
i have found the following resources:
IntelĀ® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 3A: System Programming Guide, Part 1
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ ... nuals.html

that maybe will help me to do that.
but i would like to see some examples like, how that is implemented in other linux distributions.
and also, where i could see something like pseudocode (at least in general view) to follow and implement it?
it is for an 32 bit system

i thank you in advance

You aware that linux and distributions are open source?
By the way, which kernel version and hardware are you using? 2.6.x do support multi processors.

For pseudo code, try search the forum with Brendan :lol:
There are many topics on AP startup, starting core is easy, but integrating multiple processors logic into an OS is not an easy task.
