Fix misreporting of #cores as #hyperthreads for Q9550 Fix misreporting of #cores for the Intel Quad Core Q9550. For the Q9550, in x86_64 mode, /proc/cpuinfo mistakenly reports the #cores present as the #hyperthreads present. i386 mode was not examined but is assumed to have the same problem. A backport of the following three 2.6.29-rc1 patches fixes the problem: 066941bd4eeb159307a5d7d795100d0887c00442: [PATCH] x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs 99fb4d349db7e7dacb2099c5cc320a9e2d31c1ef: [PATCH] x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs, fix bdf21a49bab28f0d9613e8d8724ef9c9168b61b9: [PATCH] x86: add MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE bits to <asm/msr-index.h> From the first patch: "If the CPUID limit bit in MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE is set, clear it to make all CPUID information available. This is required for some features to work, in particular XSAVE." Originally-Developed-by: H.
