Linux 6.17 Looks Like It Could Go Ahead And Make SMP Support Unconditional

news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 15 June

Back in May a big patch series was published for reworking the Linux kernel to make the SMP support unconditional.

news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 14 June

Linux 6.15 mistakenly shipped with a nasty power regression for some systems, such as those relying on the "nosmt" option to disable Simultaneous Multi-Threading / Hyper Threading. That idle power regression was fixed for Linux 6.15.2 and Linux 6.16 Git by reverting the troubled patch that introduced the regression.
