[PATCH v4 2/3] scripts: coccicheck: Change default condition for parallelism

From: Sumera Priyadarsini
Date: Sun Oct 11 2020 - 06:29:49 EST


Currently, Coccinelle uses at most one thread per core by default in
machines with more than 2 hyperthreads. However, for systems with only 4
hyperthreads, this does not improve performance.

Modify coccicheck to use all available threads in machines with
upto 4 hyperthreads.
