FWIW, this will happen, regardless of what we do: [ 0.089350] x86: Booting SMP configuration: [ 0.104355] NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter. [ 0.089427] .... node #0, CPUs: #1 #2 #3 [ 0.136301] x86: Booted up 1 node, 4 CPUs [ 0.136442] smpboot: Total of 4 processors activated (23146.32 BogoMIPS) as the NMI watchdog thing keeps shouting in-between. Do we still need it - I mean, how can I really use the info that NMI watchdog is consuming a perf counter? I mean I know how, but do people actually use that info or everyone knows already? :-) Thanks. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. Sent from a fat crate under my desk.
