[PATCH 2/2] cpu hotplug, add CONFIG_PERMANENT_CPU_TOPOLOGY

[Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com>]

The information in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology
directory is useful for userspace monitoring applications and in-tree
utilities like cpupower & turbostat.

When down'ing a CPU the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology directory is
removed during the CPU_DEAD hotplug callback in the kernel.  The problem
with this model is that the CPU has not been physically removed and the
data in the topology directory is still valid and the cpu's location is
now lost to userspace.

This patch adds CONFIG_PERMANENT_CPU_TOPOLOGY, and is Y by default for
x86, an N for all other arches.  When enabled the kernel is modified so
that the topology directory is added to the core cpu sysfs files so that
the topology directory exists while the CPU is physically present.  When
disabled, the behavior of the current kernel is maintained (that is, the
topology directory is removed on a soft down and added on an soft up).
Adding CONFIG_PERMANENT_CPU_TOPOLOGY may require additional architecture
so that the cpumask data the CPU's topology is not cleared during a CPU
down.

Before patch:

[root@hp-z620-01 ~]# grep ^ /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/*
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/core_id:3
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/core_siblings:ffff
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/core_siblings_list:0-15
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/physical_package_id:0
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/thread_siblings:0404
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/thread_siblings_list:2,10

Down a cpu

[root@hp-z620-01 ~]# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/online

[root@hp-z620-01 ~]# ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology
ls: cannot access topology: No such file or directory

After patch:

[root@hp-z620-01 ~]# grep ^ /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/*
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/core_id:3
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/core_siblings:ffff
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/core_siblings_list:0-15
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/physical_package_id:0
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/thread_siblings:0404
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/thread_siblings_list:2,10

Down a cpu

[root@hp-z620-01 ~]# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/online

[root@hp-z620-01 ~]# grep ^ /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/*
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/core_id:3
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/core_siblings:0000
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/core_siblings_list:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/physical_package_id:0
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/thread_siblings:0000
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/topology/thread_siblings_list:

I did some testing with and without BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 enabled,
and up'd and down'd CPUs in sequence, randomly, by thread group, by
socket group and didn't see any issues.

Note: core_siblings, and thread_siblings are "numa siblings that are online"
and "thread siblings that are online" and are used as such within the kernel.
They must be zero'd out when the CPU is offline.
