So we said in Documentation/x86/topology.rst that:
"The kernel does not care about the concept of physical sockets because
a socket has no relevance to software. It's an electromechanical
component."
Now, you're talking, AFAIU, about physical components. Why do you need
them?
What is then:
- cpuinfo_x86.phys_proc_id:
The physical ID of the package. This information is retrieved via CPUID
and deduced from the APIC IDs of the cores in the package.
supposed to mean?
Why isn't phys_proc_id != node_id?
And so on and so on.
Please get the nomenclature straight first and then we can talk changes.
Thx.
