[PATCH 2/2] Documentation/ABI: Move the topology-related sysfs interface to the right place

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

 



Move the interface that exists under
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/ to the more logical
Documentation/ABI/ file that can be properly parsed and
displayed to the user space
