    x86/smp: Enforce CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU when SMP=y · bebd024e
    Thomas Gleixner 提交于
    The SMT disable 'nosmt' command line argument is not working properly when
    CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled. The teardown of the sibling CPUs which are
    required to be brought up due to the MCE issues, cannot work. The CPUs are
    then kept in a half dead state.
    
    As the 'nosmt' functionality has become popular due to the speculative
    hardware vulnerabilities, the half torn down state is not a proper solution
    to the problem.
    
    Enforce CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y when SMP is enabled so the full operation is
    possible.
