Suppose that I'm writing a piece of code taht uses the FPU, in a SMP
system, will be the two units used in paralell if I have two threads
using them?
I have a dual p200mmx so I have a total of two FPUs, my
/proc/interrupts says 1 0 XT-PIC after a couple of sins and tans
and so on, I don't know if I'm not using the FPU or perhaps the
kernel is using it "polling" I have read the gcc and libc info and
man pages, and have tried flags like - march=pentium and something
like -D__NO_MATH_INLINE but my interrupt counter stays at 1 0.
The interrupt for the FPU is XT-PIC ; If I managed to use both FPUs
how will the kernel know what FPU of what cpu isued the int??
My 2.2.10 kernel is SMP aware and has no FPU emulation code.
