- Hmm, my multiprocessor version of Linux is right here:
-
- /usr/src/linux find | grep -i smp
- ./include/linux/smp.h
- ./include/linux/smp_lock.h
- ./include/asm-i386/smp.h
- ./include/asm-i386/smp_lock.h
- ./include/asm-sparc/smpprim.h
- ./arch/i386/kernel/smp.c
- ./Documentation/SMP.txt
- ./Documentation/smp.ez
-
- FWIW, both SCO and Solaris x86 support SMP as well.
