Thanks to the contributions of many dedicated freebsd-arm hackers over the past few months, it looks like SMP is now solid enough for everyday use. SMP has been "kinda working" for a while, but I think the pmap fixes we've been working on for the past few weeks have made things pretty robust. I've had continuous stress-testing on running on dual and quad-core boards with a multi-threaded app that maxes out all the cores with heavy floating point and network IO and haven't had any app crashes or kernel panics for a couple weeks. I've updated the kernel configs for the platforms I know have multiple cores, as of r264138. -- Ian
