Subject: [PATCH V2 7/8] Documentation: x86: Update smp_num_siblings/x86_max_cores description
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2022 13:16:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220816051633.17775-8-rui.zhang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220816051633.17775-1-rui.zhang@intel.com>

smp_num_siblings/cpuinfo_x86.x86_max_cores are retrieved via CPUID EAX
bit_shift value, and they represent the maximum possible number of threads
in a core, and the maximum possible number of cores in a package.

Update the smp_num_siblings/cpuinfo_x86.x86_max_cores description in the
documentation.
