Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 1/3] topology: Represent clusters of CPUs within a die.

From: Jonathan Cameron <redacted>

Both ACPI and DT provide the ability to describe additional layers of
topology between that of individual cores and higher level constructs
such as the level at which the last level cache is shared.
In ACPI this can be represented in PPTT as a Processor Hierarchy
Node Structure [1] that is the parent of the CPU cores and in turn
has a parent Processor Hierarchy Nodes Structure representing
a higher level of topology.

For example Kunpeng 920 has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node, and each
cluster has 4 cpus. All clusters share L3 cache data, but each cluster
has local L3 tag. On the other hand, each clusters will share some
internal system bus.

That means the cost to transfer ownership of a cacheline between CPUs
within a cluster is lower than between CPUs in different clusters on
the same die. Hence, it can make sense to tell the scheduler to use
the cache affinity of the cluster to make better decision on thread
migration.

This patch simply exposes this information to userspace libraries
like hwloc by providing cluster_cpus and related sysfs attributes.
PoC of HWLOC support at [2].

Note this patch only handle the ACPI case.

Special consideration is needed for SMT processors, where it is
necessary to move 2 levels up the hierarchy from the leaf nodes
(thus skipping the processor core level).

Currently the ID provided is the offset of the Processor
Hierarchy Nodes Structure within PPTT.  Whilst this is unique
it is not terribly elegant so alternative suggestions welcome.

Note that arm64 / ACPI does not provide any means of identifying
a die level in the topology but that may be unrelate to the cluster
level.

I am seeing a machine without cluster is getting cluster,
so I guess we need the below:

Makes sense and is inline with the docs above.
