From: Maria Dimakopoulou <maria.n.dimakopou...@gmail.com>
This patch adds a sysfs entry:
/sys/devices/cpu/ht_bug_workaround
to activate/deactivate the PMU HT bug workaround.
To activate (activated by default):
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/cpu/ht_bug_workaround
To deactivate:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/cpu/ht_bug_workaround
Results effective only once there is no more active
events.
