Hai,
The kernel was compiled in SMP mode. The low memory offset mode
is only for AMP mode means, then how we test both the core 0 and 1 in the
linux kernel ?. Asper my understanding if we enable the Low Memory Offset
mode, then only the core1 translation is enabled. If we disalbed the Low
Memory offset mode, Only Core 0 will work in SMP mode and Core 1 will idle.
If we want to test the efficient of Dual core means we need to enable both
the core and Low Memory Offset Mode. For this configuration linux kernel was
not up.
( Please correct me if I am wrong )
Thanks and Regards
Sivaji
