[PATCH 4.14 074/104] cpu/hotplug: Expose SMT control init function

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

 



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

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

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx>

commit 8e1b706b6e819bed215c0db16345568864660393 upstream

The L1TF mitigation will gain a commend line parameter which allows to set
a combination of hypervisor mitigation and SMT control.

Expose cpu_smt_disable() so the command line parser can tweak SMT settings.

[ tglx: Split out of larger patch and made it preserve an already existing
  	force off state ]
