Subject: [PATCH v2 12/12] perf/x86: add syfs entry to disable HT bug workaround

From: Maria Dimakopoulou <maria.n.dimakopoulou@...il.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.
