2 Export CPU topology info via sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar
5 1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id:
7 physical package id of cpuX. Typically corresponds to a physical
8 socket number, but the actual value is architecture and platform
11 2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id:
13 the CPU core ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
14 identifier (rather than the kernel's). The actual value is
15 architecture and platform dependent.
17 3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings:
19 internel kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
22 4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings:
24 internal kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
27 To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file,
28 drivers/base/topology.c, is to export the 4 attributes.
30 For an architecture to support this feature, it must define some of
31 these macros in include/asm-XXX/topology.h:
32 #define topology_physical_package_id(cpu)
33 #define topology_core_id(cpu)
34 #define topology_thread_cpumask(cpu)
35 #define topology_core_cpumask(cpu)
37 The type of **_id is int.
38 The type of siblings is (const) struct cpumask *.
40 To be consistent on all architectures, include/linux/topology.h
41 provides default definitions for any of the above macros that are
42 not defined by include/asm-XXX/topology.h:
43 1) physical_package_id: -1
45 3) thread_siblings: just the given CPU
46 4) core_siblings: just the given CPU
48 Additionally, CPU topology information is provided under
49 /sys/devices/system/cpu and includes these files. The internal
50 source for the output is in brackets ("[]").
52 kernel_max: the maximum CPU index allowed by the kernel configuration.
55 offline: CPUs that are not online because they have been
56 HOTPLUGGED off (see cpu-hotplug.txt) or exceed the limit
57 of CPUs allowed by the kernel configuration (kernel_max
58 above). [~cpu_online_mask + cpus >= NR_CPUS]
60 online: CPUs that are online and being scheduled [cpu_online_mask]
62 possible: CPUs that have been allocated resources and can be
63 brought online if they are present. [cpu_possible_mask]
65 present: CPUs that have been identified as being present in the
66 system. [cpu_present_mask]
68 The format for the above output is compatible with cpulist_parse()
69 [see <linux/cpumask.h>]. Some examples follow.
71 In this example, there are 64 CPUs in the system but cpus 32-63 exceed
72 the kernel max which is limited to 0..31 by the NR_CPUS config option
73 being 32. Note also that CPUs 2 and 4-31 are not online but could be
74 brought online as they are both present and possible.
82 In this example, the NR_CPUS config option is 128, but the kernel was
83 started with possible_cpus=144. There are 4 CPUs in the system and cpu2
84 was manually taken offline (and is the only CPU that can be brought
88 offline: 2,4-127,128-143
93 See cpu-hotplug.txt for the possible_cpus=NUM kernel start parameter
94 as well as more information on the various cpumasks.
