How CPU topology info is exported via sysfs
===========================================
-Export CPU topology info via sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar
-to /proc/cpuinfo output of some architectures. They reside in
-/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/:
-
-physical_package_id:
-
- physical package id of cpuX. Typically corresponds to a physical
- socket number, but the actual value is architecture and platform
- dependent.
-
-die_id:
-
- the CPU die ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
- identifier (rather than the kernel's). The actual value is
- architecture and platform dependent.
-
-core_id:
-
- the CPU core ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
- identifier (rather than the kernel's). The actual value is
- architecture and platform dependent.
-
-book_id:
-
- the book ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
- identifier (rather than the kernel's). The actual value is
- architecture and platform dependent.
-
-drawer_id:
-
- the drawer ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
- identifier (rather than the kernel's). The actual value is
- architecture and platform dependent.
-
-core_cpus:
-
- internal kernel map of CPUs within the same core.
- (deprecated name: "thread_siblings")
-
-core_cpus_list:
-
- human-readable list of CPUs within the same core.
- (deprecated name: "thread_siblings_list");
-
-package_cpus:
-
- internal kernel map of the CPUs sharing the same physical_package_id.

-
- internal kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
- book_id.

+CPU topology info is exported via sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar
+to /proc/cpuinfo output of some architectures. They reside in
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/. Please refer to the ABI file:
+Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-devices-system-cpu.
Architecture-neutral, drivers/base/topology.c, exports these attributes.
-However, the book and drawer related sysfs files will only be created if
-CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK and CONFIG_SCHED_DRAWER are selected, respectively.
-
-CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK and CONFIG_SCHED_DRAWER are currently only used on s390,
-where they reflect the cpu and cache hierarchy.
+However the die, cluster, book, and drawer hierarchy related sysfs files will
+only be created if an architecture provides the related macros as described
+below.
For an architecture to support this feature, it must define some of
these macros in include/asm-XXX/topology.h::

#define topology_die_id(cpu)
