2 Export cpu topology info via sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar
5 1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id:
6 represent the physical package id of cpu X;
7 2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id:
8 represent the cpu core id to cpu X;
9 3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings:
10 represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same core;
11 4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings:
12 represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same physical package;
14 To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file,
15 drivers/base/topology.c, is to export the 4 attributes.
17 For an architecture to support this feature, it must define some of
18 these macros in include/asm-XXX/topology.h:
19 #define topology_physical_package_id(cpu)
20 #define topology_core_id(cpu)
21 #define topology_thread_siblings(cpu)
22 #define topology_core_siblings(cpu)
24 The type of **_id is int.
25 The type of siblings is cpumask_t.
27 To be consistent on all architectures, include/linux/topology.h
28 provides default definitions for any of the above macros that are
29 not defined by include/asm-XXX/topology.h:
30 1) physical_package_id: -1
32 3) thread_siblings: just the given CPU
33 4) core_siblings: just the given CPU
