Hi all...

Continuing with the glibc-2.3.1 saga, I have tested 2.4.21-pre2. It also
fails. glibc can not get a correct AT_PLATFORM when the kernel is run
on an hyperthreaded smp box.

I have run this on the box (dual P4@1.8GHz). Highmem does not matter. Just
HT matters. If I sun the SMP kernel with HT active, it glibc fails to detect
AT_PLATFORM. If I disable HT, from the bios or with 'noht' boot option, the
platform is correctly detected. Something does not follow the rules in
binfmt_elf.c when there are siblings (not real CPUs) in the game. Or there
is gcc-3.2.1 to blame.

Test script:
#!/bin/bash

#log=$(uname -r).txt
log=log.txt

exec > $log 2>&1

echo ===== uname -a
uname -a
echo
echo ===== uname -m
uname -m
echo
echo ===== ./ld.so
./ld.so
echo
echo ===== LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" LD_DEBUG=libs /bin/true
rm -f /etc/ld.so.cache
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" LD_DEBUG=libs /bin/true
echo
ldconfig

ld.so is a modified one to print AT_PLATFORM, by Gwenole@mandrakesoft. The
loader used for the /bin/true test is the standard one.

Results for 2.4.21-pre2 are attached. All are smp kernels, 'ht' means ht active,
'noht-bios' is ht diabled in the bios and 'noht-soft' is ht disabled with 'noht'.

Any ideas ?
