Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/ topology files
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:45:25 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091022034525.13399.4286.stgit@bob.kio> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091022033506.13399.90799.stgit@bob.kio>

Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files:

	/sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/offline
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/online
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/present

Excerpted the relevant information from Documentation/cputopology.txt
and pointed back to cputopology.txt as the authoritative source of
information.

+Description:	CPU topology files that describe kernel limits related to
+		hotplug. Briefly:
+
+		kernel_max: the maximum cpu index allowed by the kernel
+		configuration.
+
+		offline: cpus that are not online because they have been
+		HOTPLUGGED off or exceed the limit of cpus allowed by the
+		kernel configuration (kernel_max above).
+
+		online: cpus that are online and being scheduled.
+
+		possible: cpus that have been allocated resources and can be
+		brought online if they are present.
+
+		present: cpus that have been identified as being present in
+		the system.
+
+		See Documentation/cputopology.txt for more information.
