cpu/SMT: Enable SMT only if a core is online
[ Upstream commit 6c17ea1f3eaa330d445ac14a9428402ce4e3055e ] If a core is offline then enabling SMT should not online CPUs of this core. By enabling SMT, what is intended is either changing the SMT value from "off" to "on" or setting the SMT level (threads per core) from a lower to higher value. On PowerPC the ppc64_cpu utility can be used, among other things, to perform the following functions: ppc64_cpu --cores-on # Get the number of online cores ppc64_cpu --cores-on=X # Put exactly X cores online ppc64_cpu --offline-cores=X[,Y,...] # Put specified cores offline ppc64_cpu --smt={on|off|value} # Enable, disable or change SMT level If the user has decided to offline certain cores, enabling SMT should not online CPUs in those cores. This patch fixes the issue and changes the behaviour as described, by introducing an arch specific function topology_is_core_online(). It is currently implemented only for PowerPC.
