Dear Maintainer,

noht has no effect.

I have been trying to chase down a weird hang which occurs only on 6
core/12 thread Ryzens (I cannot reproduce it on 4/8 or older CPUs).

As a part of that I tried to disable ht. Well, it cannot be disabled
- the noht command line arg has no effect whatosever.

As ht can be a security hole this may have security implications as
well.
Do you mean 'nosmt'? (See kernel-parameters.txt).

You can find further information as well in
Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/l1tf.rst.

I picked up noht from an older document somewhere and I cannot remember the actual source. It was definitely in the older version of RHEL guides, etc.

I can see that the parameter is nosmt now.

You can close the bug.


Regards,
Salvatore
