Export CPU topology info via sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar

  to /proc/cpuinfo output of some architectures:

  
  1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id:

  
  	physical package id of cpuX. Typically corresponds to a physical
  	socket number, but the actual value is architecture and platform
  	dependent.

  2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id:

  
  	the CPU core ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
  	identifier (rather than the kernel's).  The actual value is
  	architecture and platform dependent.

  3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/book_id:
  
  	the book ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
  	identifier (rather than the kernel's).	The actual value is
  	architecture and platform dependent.

  4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/drawer_id:
  
  	the drawer ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
  	identifier (rather than the kernel's).	The actual value is
  	architecture and platform dependent.
  
  5) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings:

  	internal kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same

  	core as cpuX.

  6) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list:

  
  	human-readable list of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
  	core as cpuX.

  7) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings:

  
  	internal kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
  	physical_package_id.

  8) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list:

  
  	human-readable list of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
  	physical_package_id.

  9) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/book_siblings:

  
  	internal kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
  	book_id.

  10) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/book_siblings_list:

  
  	human-readable list of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
  	book_id.

  11) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/drawer_siblings:
  
  	internal kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
  	drawer_id.
  
  12) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/drawer_siblings_list:
  
  	human-readable list of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
  	drawer_id.

  To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file,

  drivers/base/topology.c, is to export the 6 to 12 attributes. The book
  and drawer related sysfs files will only be created if CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK
  and CONFIG_SCHED_DRAWER are selected.
  
  CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK and CONFIG_DRAWER are currently only used on s390, where
  they reflect the cpu and cache hierarchy.

  For an architecture to support this feature, it must define some of
  these macros in include/asm-XXX/topology.h:

  #define topology_physical_package_id(cpu)
  #define topology_core_id(cpu)

  #define topology_book_id(cpu)

  #define topology_drawer_id(cpu)

  #define topology_sibling_cpumask(cpu)

  #define topology_core_cpumask(cpu)

  #define topology_book_cpumask(cpu)

  #define topology_drawer_cpumask(cpu)

  The type of **_id macros is int.
  The type of **_cpumask macros is (const) struct cpumask *. The latter
  correspond with appropriate **_siblings sysfs attributes (except for
  topology_sibling_cpumask() which corresponds with thread_siblings).

  To be consistent on all architectures, include/linux/topology.h
  provides default definitions for any of the above macros that are
  not defined by include/asm-XXX/topology.h:
  1) physical_package_id: -1
  2) core_id: 0

  3) sibling_cpumask: just the given CPU
  4) core_cpumask: just the given CPU

  For architectures that don't support books (CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK) there are no
  default definitions for topology_book_id() and topology_book_cpumask().

  For architectures that don't support drawes (CONFIG_SCHED_DRAWER) there are
  no default definitions for topology_drawer_id() and topology_drawer_cpumask().

  Additionally, CPU topology information is provided under

  /sys/devices/system/cpu and includes these files.  The internal
  source for the output is in brackets ("[]").

      kernel_max: the maximum CPU index allowed by the kernel configuration.

  		[NR_CPUS-1]

      offline:	CPUs that are not online because they have been

  		HOTPLUGGED off (see cpu-hotplug.txt) or exceed the limit

  		of CPUs allowed by the kernel configuration (kernel_max

  		above). [~cpu_online_mask + cpus >= NR_CPUS]

      online:	CPUs that are online and being scheduled [cpu_online_mask]

      possible:	CPUs that have been allocated resources and can be

  		brought online if they are present. [cpu_possible_mask]

      present:	CPUs that have been identified as being present in the

  		system. [cpu_present_mask]
  
  The format for the above output is compatible with cpulist_parse()
  [see <linux/cpumask.h>].  Some examples follow.

  In this example, there are 64 CPUs in the system but cpus 32-63 exceed

  the kernel max which is limited to 0..31 by the NR_CPUS config option

  being 32.  Note also that CPUs 2 and 4-31 are not online but could be

  brought online as they are both present and possible.
  
       kernel_max: 31
          offline: 2,4-31,32-63
           online: 0-1,3
         possible: 0-31
          present: 0-31
  
  In this example, the NR_CPUS config option is 128, but the kernel was

  started with possible_cpus=144.  There are 4 CPUs in the system and cpu2
  was manually taken offline (and is the only CPU that can be brought

  online.)
  
       kernel_max: 127
          offline: 2,4-127,128-143
           online: 0-1,3
         possible: 0-127
          present: 0-3
  
  See cpu-hotplug.txt for the possible_cpus=NUM kernel start parameter

  as well as more information on the various cpumasks.
