SMT siblings share caches and other hardware, and busy halt polling will degrade its sibling performance if its sibling is working Sean Christopherson suggested as below: "Rather than disallowing halt-polling entirely, on x86 it should be sufficient to simply have the hardware thread yield to its sibling(s) via PAUSE. It probably won't get back all performance, but I would expect it to be close. This compiles on all KVM architectures, and AFAICT the intended usage of cpu_relax() is identical for all architectures."
