It is defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/topology.h.
#define smt_capable() (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_SMT))

Thanks for your review again.

I think this "if" statement can be removed. The cpu_core_index_of_thread()
can return the correct cpu number with thread or without thread.

Like this:
static inline u32 get_phy_cpu_mask(void)
{
u32 mask;
int cpu;

mask = 1 << cpu_core_index_of_thread(cur_booting_core);
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
mask |= 1 << cpu_core_index_of_thread(
get_hard_smp_processor_id(cpu));

return mask;
}
