Documentation/x86/topology.txt defines smp_num_siblings as "The number of
threads in a core". Since commit bbb65d2d365e ("x86: use cpuid vector 0xb
when available for detecting cpu topology") smp_num_siblings is the
maximum number of threads in a core. If Simultaneous MultiThreading
(SMT) is disabled on a system, smp_num_siblings is 2 and not 1 as
expected.
Use topology_max_smt_threads(), which contains the active numer of threads,
in the __max_logical_packages calculation.
On a single socket, single core, single thread system __max_smt_threads has
not been updated when the __max_logical_packages calculation happens, so its
zero which makes the package estimate fail. Initialize it to one, which is
the minimum number of threads on a core.
[ tglx: Folded the __max_smt_threads fix in ]

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
