[patch V2 08/28] sched/smt: Make sched_smt_present track topology

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sun Nov 25 2018 - 13:57:22 EST


Currently the 'sched_smt_present' static key is enabled when at CPU bringup
SMT topology is observed, but it is never disabled. However there is demand
to also disable the key when the topology changes such that there is no SMT
present anymore.

Implement this by making the key count the number of cores that have SMT
enabled.

In particular, the SMT topology bits are set before interrrupts are enabled
and similarly, are cleared after interrupts are disabled for the last time
and the CPU dies.
