[PATCH 1/2] x86/bugs: Use cpu_smt_possible helper
Posted by Breno Leitao 1 month, 1 week ago
There is a helper function to check if SMT is available. Use this helper
instead of performing the check manually.

The helper function cpu_smt_possible() does exactly the same thing as
was being done manually inside spectre_v2_user_select_mitigation().
Specifically, it returns false if CONFIG_SMP is disabled, otherwise
it checks the cpu_smt_control global variable.

This change improves code consistency and reduces duplication.
