Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/ topology files
Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_id /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_siblings /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/physical_package_id /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/thread_siblings /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/thread_siblings_list The descriptions in Documentation/cputopology.txt weren't very informative, so I attempted a better description based on code reading and hopeful guessing. Updated Documentation/cputopology.txt with the better descriptions and fixed some style issues.

Description: CPU topology files that describe a logical CPU's relationship
|
||||
to other cores and threads in the same physical package.
|
||||
|
||||
One cpu# directory is created per logical CPU in the system,
|
||||
e.g. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu42/.
|
||||
|
||||
Briefly, the files above are:
|
||||
|
||||
core_id: the CPU core ID of cpu#. Typically it is the
|
||||
hardware platform's identifier (rather than the kernel's).
|
||||
The actual value is architecture and platform dependent.
|
||||
|
||||
core_siblings: internal kernel map of cpu#'s hardware threads
|
||||
within the same physical_package_id.
|
||||
|
||||
core_siblings_list: human-readable list of the logical CPU
|
||||
numbers within the same physical_package_id as cpu#.
|
||||
|
||||
physical_package_id: physical package id of cpu#. Typically
|
||||
corresponds to a physical socket number, but the actual value
|
||||
is architecture and platform dependent.
|
||||
|
||||
thread_siblings: internel kernel map of cpu#'s hardware
|
||||
threads within the same core as cpu#
|
||||
|
||||
thread_siblings_list: human-readable list of cpu#'s hardware
|
||||
threads within the same core as cpu#
|
||||

||||
