[PATCH 1/3] cpu/SMT: create and export cpu_smt_possible()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



KVM needs to know if SMT is theoretically possible, this means it is
supported and not forcefully disabled ('nosmt=force'). Create and
export cpu_smt_possible() answering this question.
