4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 1910ad5624968f93be48e8e265513c54d66b897c upstream 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.
