I'm looking for information on multiprocessing in general, but specifics
about Linux could be pretty useful. In particular, I would like to know
how the kernel schedules threads and processors on systems that have
multiple cores or physical CPUs. I'm really interested to know how the
kernel boots on an MP machine. I assume the BIOS starts up one of the
CPUs, which loads the kernel, which then schedules other processes on
one of the other cores/CPUs if appropriate; but I'm curious to know how
this happens on the assembly level.
Any references to this information (or OS-agnostic information on
assembly-level multiprocessing) would be appreciated.
