    x86/Kconfig: Select SCHED_SMT if SMP enabled · 44ac7cd0
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    commit dbe73364
    
     upstream
    
    CONFIG_SCHED_SMT is enabled by all distros, so there is not a real point to
    have it configurable. The runtime overhead in the core scheduler code is
    minimal because the actual SMT scheduling parts are conditional on a static
    key.
    
    This allows to expose the scheduler's SMT state static key to the
    speculation control code. Alternatively the scheduler's static key could be
    made always available when CONFIG_SMP is enabled, but that's just adding an
    unused static key to every other architecture for nothing.
