commit 6a4d2657 upstream If the CPU is supporting SMT then the primary thread can be found by checking the lower APIC ID bits for zero. smp_num_siblings is used to build the mask for the APIC ID bits which need to be taken into account. This uses the MPTABLE or ACPI/MADT supplied APIC ID, which can be different than the initial APIC ID in CPUID. But according to AMD the lower bits have to be consistent. Intel gave a tentative confirmation as well. Preparatory patch to support disabling SMT at boot/runtime.
