ACPI 6.2 adds the Processor Properties Topology Table (PPTT), which is
used to describe the processor and cache topologies. Ideally it is
used to extend/override information provided by the hardware, but
right now ARM64 is entirely dependent on firmware provided tables.

Hi,

So there is a problem with this patch set when cache nodes are referenced by cpu nodes with the intention that the resulting caches aren't shared, even though the PPTT cache node is shared. The code uses the node reference when determining if caches are shared. This means that it makes a mistake and thinks that all the (say L1) caches are shared because they share a PPTT cache node.

Its a fairly small tweak, I will re-post this set.





This patch parses the table for the cache topology and CPU topology.
For the latter we also add an additional topology_cod_id() macro,
and a package_id for arm64. Initially the physical id will match
the cluster id, but we update users of the cluster to utilize
the new macro. When we enable PPTT for the arm64 the cluster/socket
starts to differ. Because of this we also make some dynamic decisions
about mapping thread/core/cod/socket to the thread/socket used by the
scheduler.

For example on juno:
