[PATCH 4.18 24/79] x86/cpu/intel: Evaluate smp_num_siblings early

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Aug 14 2018 - 13:25:00 EST


4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Make use of the new early detection function to initialize smp_num_siblings
on the boot cpu before the MP-Table or ACPI/MADT scan happens. That's
required for force disabling SMT.
