Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the CPU hotplug core:
- Support partial SMT enablement.
So far the sysfs SMT control only allows to toggle between SMT on
and off. That's sufficient for x86 which usually has at max two
threads except for the Xeon PHI platform which has four threads per
core
Though PowerPC has up to 16 threads per core and so far it's only
possible to control the number of enabled threads per core via a
command line option. There is some way to control this at runtime,
but that lacks enforcement and the usability is awkward
This update expands the sysfs interface and the core infrastructure
to accept numerical values so PowerPC can build SMT runtime control
for partial SMT enablement on top
The core support has also been provided to the PowerPC maintainers
who added the PowerPC related changes on top
- Minor cleanups and documentation updates"
