This causes a regression: https://groups.google.com/g/powerpc-utils-devel/c/wrwVzAAnRlI/m/5KJSoqP4BAAJ The userspace code only changes the SMT mode of online CPUs (at lest one thread is online) and does not touch offline CPUs. Using this new interface offlined CPUs are onlined when SMT value is set. Would you look into special-casing the offline CPUs?
