[PATCH v2] Documentation: DT: arm: Add topology property to define package boundaries

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The current ARM DT topology description provides the operating system
with a topological view of the system that is based on leaf nodes
representing either cores or threads (in an SMT system) and a
hierarchical set of cluster nodes that creates a hierarchical topology
view of how those cores and threads are grouped.

As opposed to the ACPI topology description ([1], PPTT table), this
hierarchical representation of clusters does not allow to describe what
topology level actually represents the physical package boundary, which
is a key piece of information to be used by an operating system to
optimize resource allocation and scheduling.

Define an optional, backward compatible boolean property for cluster
nodes that, by reusing the ACPI nomenclature, add to the ARM DT
topological description a binding to define what cluster level
represents a physical package boundary.
