On building the topology from the devicetree, we've already gotten the SMT thread number of each core. Update the largest SMT thread number and enable the SMT control by the end of topology parsing. The framework's SMT control provides two interface to the users through /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control (Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu): 1) enable SMT by writing "on" and disable by "off" 2) enable SMT by writing max_thread_number or disable by writing 1 Both method support to completely disable/enable the SMT cores so both work correctly for symmetric SMT platform and asymmetric platform with non-SMT and one type SMT cores like: core A: 1 thread core B: X (X!=1) threads Note that for a theoretically possible multiple SMT-X (X>1) core platform the SMT control is also supported as expected but only by writing the "on/off" method.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
