Commit-ID: 54a5369487fc0a9506bbf31ab2e00e5dc5d6d4cd Gitweb: http://git.kernel.org/tip/54a5369487fc0a9506bbf31ab2e00e5dc5d6d4cd Author: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Tue, 26 May 2015 15:11:29 +0200 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Wed, 27 May 2015 15:22:15 +0200 Documentation: Update cputopology.txt The documentation on cpu topology seems to be a bit out-of-date. It doesn't mention the **_siblings_list attributes and uses old names for topology_**_cpumask() macros. Add information on missing attributes plus some additional clarifications.
