Subject: [PATCH] x86: cache_info: Fix setup of l2/l3 ids
Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2012 15:38:14 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1333715894-25995-1-git-send-email-ido@wizery.com> (raw)
From: Shai Fultheim <shai@scalemp.com>
On some architectures (such as vSMP), it is possible to have CPUs with a
different number of cores sharing the same cache.
The current implementation implicitly assumes that all CPUs will have
the same number of cores sharing caches, and as a result, different CPUs
can end up with the same l2/l3 ids.
Fix this by masking out the shared cache bits, instead of shifting the
APICID. By doing so, it is guaranteed that the generated cache ids are
always unique.
