2How CPU topology info is exported via sysfs
3===========================================
4
5Export CPU topology info via sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar
6to /proc/cpuinfo output of some architectures.  They reside in
7/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/:
8
9physical_package_id:
10
11	physical package id of cpuX. Typically corresponds to a physical
12	socket number, but the actual value is architecture and platform
13	dependent.
14
15die_id:
16
17	the CPU die ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
18	identifier (rather than the kernel's).  The actual value is
19	architecture and platform dependent.
20
21core_id:
22
23	the CPU core ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
24	identifier (rather than the kernel's).  The actual value is
25	architecture and platform dependent.
26
27book_id:
28
29	the book ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
30	identifier (rather than the kernel's).	The actual value is
31	architecture and platform dependent.
32
33drawer_id:
34
35	the drawer ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
36	identifier (rather than the kernel's).	The actual value is
37	architecture and platform dependent.
38
39core_cpus:
40
41	internal kernel map of CPUs within the same core.
42	(deprecated name: "thread_siblings")
43
44core_cpus_list:
45
46	human-readable list of CPUs within the same core.
47	(deprecated name: "thread_siblings_list");
48
49package_cpus:
50
51	internal kernel map of the CPUs sharing the same physical_package_id.
52	(deprecated name: "core_siblings")
53
54package_cpus_list:
55
56	human-readable list of CPUs sharing the same physical_package_id.
57	(deprecated name: "core_siblings_list")
58
59die_cpus:
60
61	internal kernel map of CPUs within the same die.
62
63die_cpus_list:
64
65	human-readable list of CPUs within the same die.
66
67book_siblings:
68
69	internal kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
70	book_id.
71
72book_siblings_list:
73
74	human-readable list of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
75	book_id.
76
77drawer_siblings:
78
79	internal kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
80	drawer_id.
81
82drawer_siblings_list:
83
84	human-readable list of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
85	drawer_id.
86
87Architecture-neutral, drivers/base/topology.c, exports these attributes.
88However, the book and drawer related sysfs files will only be created if
89CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK and CONFIG_SCHED_DRAWER are selected, respectively.
90
91CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK and CONFIG_SCHED_DRAWER are currently only used on s390,
92where they reflect the cpu and cache hierarchy.
93
94For an architecture to support this feature, it must define some of
95these macros in include/asm-XXX/topology.h::
96
97	#define topology_physical_package_id(cpu)
98	#define topology_die_id(cpu)
99	#define topology_core_id(cpu)
100	#define topology_book_id(cpu)
101	#define topology_drawer_id(cpu)
102	#define topology_sibling_cpumask(cpu)
103	#define topology_core_cpumask(cpu)
104	#define topology_die_cpumask(cpu)
105	#define topology_book_cpumask(cpu)
106	#define topology_drawer_cpumask(cpu)
107
108The type of ``**_id macros`` is int.
109The type of ``**_cpumask macros`` is ``(const) struct cpumask *``. The latter
110correspond with appropriate ``**_siblings`` sysfs attributes (except for
111topology_sibling_cpumask() which corresponds with thread_siblings).
112
113To be consistent on all architectures, include/linux/topology.h
114provides default definitions for any of the above macros that are
115not defined by include/asm-XXX/topology.h:
116
1171) topology_physical_package_id: -1
1182) topology_die_id: -1
1193) topology_core_id: 0
1204) topology_sibling_cpumask: just the given CPU
1215) topology_core_cpumask: just the given CPU
1226) topology_die_cpumask: just the given CPU
123
124For architectures that don't support books (CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK) there are no
125default definitions for topology_book_id() and topology_book_cpumask().
126For architectures that don't support drawers (CONFIG_SCHED_DRAWER) there are
127no default definitions for topology_drawer_id() and topology_drawer_cpumask().
128
129Additionally, CPU topology information is provided under
130/sys/devices/system/cpu and includes these files.  The internal
131source for the output is in brackets ("[]").
132
133    =========== ==========================================================
134    kernel_max: the maximum CPU index allowed by the kernel configuration.
135		[NR_CPUS-1]
136
137    offline:	CPUs that are not online because they have been
138		HOTPLUGGED off (see cpu-hotplug.txt) or exceed the limit
139		of CPUs allowed by the kernel configuration (kernel_max
140		above). [~cpu_online_mask + cpus >= NR_CPUS]
141
142    online:	CPUs that are online and being scheduled [cpu_online_mask]
143
144    possible:	CPUs that have been allocated resources and can be
145		brought online if they are present. [cpu_possible_mask]
146
147    present:	CPUs that have been identified as being present in the
148		system. [cpu_present_mask]
149    =========== ==========================================================
150
151The format for the above output is compatible with cpulist_parse()
152[see <linux/cpumask.h>].  Some examples follow.
153
154In this example, there are 64 CPUs in the system but cpus 32-63 exceed
155the kernel max which is limited to 0..31 by the NR_CPUS config option
156being 32.  Note also that CPUs 2 and 4-31 are not online but could be
157brought online as they are both present and possible::
158
159     kernel_max: 31
160        offline: 2,4-31,32-63
161         online: 0-1,3
162       possible: 0-31
163        present: 0-31
164
165In this example, the NR_CPUS config option is 128, but the kernel was
166started with possible_cpus=144.  There are 4 CPUs in the system and cpu2
167was manually taken offline (and is the only CPU that can be brought
168online.)::
169
170     kernel_max: 127
171        offline: 2,4-127,128-143
172         online: 0-1,3
173       possible: 0-127
174        present: 0-3
175
176See cpu-hotplug.txt for the possible_cpus=NUM kernel start parameter
177as well as more information on the various cpumasks.
