Hi,
Im new to this group.
I want to get some information from BIOS. i.e i want to know whether
Hyperthreading is Enabled/Disabled(as per BIOS settings) from an user
applications program.
there is no standard way to do this. You can use /proc/cpuinfo to see if
the kernel found ht'd processors. But that's the best you can do.
(well you could grovel through the acpi tables just like the kernel
does, but you really don't want to do that from userspace)
