Currently if architectures want to support HOTPLUG_SMT they need to
provide a topology_is_primary_thread() telling the framework which
thread in the SMT cannot offline. However arm64 doesn't have a
restriction on which thread in the SMT cannot offline, a simplest
choice is that just make 1st thread as the "primary" thread. So
just make this as the default implementation in the framework and
let architectures like x86 that have special primary thread to
override this function (which they've already done).

There's no need to provide a stub function if !CONFIG_SMP or
!CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMP. In such case the testing CPU is already
the 1st CPU in the SMT so it's always the primary thread.

Please do not glue defines and functions together w/o a newline in between.

How is that supposed to work? Assume both siblings are offline, then the
sibling mask is empty and you can't boot the CPU anymore.

Thanks,

sure, will add a newline here.

For architectures' using arch_topology, topology_sibling_cpumask() will at least
contain the tested CPU itself. This is initialized in
drivers/base/arch_topology.c:reset_cpu_topology(). So it won't be empty here.

Besides we don't need to check topology_is_primary_thread() at boot time:
-> cpu_up(cpu)
     cpu_bootable()
       if (cpu_smt_control == CPU_SMT_ENABLED &&
           cpu_smt_thread_allowed(cpu)) // will always return true if !CONFIG_SMT_NUM_THREADS_DYNAMIC
         return true; // we'll always return here and @cpu is always bootable

Also tested fine in practice.

Thanks.

Fair enough. Can you please expand the comment and say:

     The sibling cpumask of a offline CPU contains always the CPU
     itself.

cpu_smt_control is not guaranteed to have CPU_SMT_ENABLED state, so this
argument is bogus.

I've heard that song before.

What matters is not what you tested. What matters is whether the code is
correct _and_ understandable.

Thanks,
