[RFC][PATCH 0/6] fix topology for multi-NUMA-node CPUs

[Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net>]

This is a big fat RFC.  It takes quite a few liberties with the
multi-core topology level that I'm not completely comfortable
with.

It has only been tested lightly.

Full dmesg for a Cluster-on-Die system with this set applied,
and sched_debug on the command-line is here:

I'm getting the spew below when booting with Haswell (Xeon
E5-2699 v3) CPUs and the "Cluster-on-Die" (CoD) feature enabled
in the BIOS.  It seems similar to the issue that some folks from
AMD ran in to on their systems and addressed in this commit:

	http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=161270fc1f9ddfc17154e0d49291472a9cdef7db

Both these Intel and AMD systems break an assumption which is
being enforced by topology_sane(): a socket may not contain more
than one NUMA node.

AMD special-cased their system by looking for a cpuid flag.  The
Intel mode is dependent on BIOS options and I do not know of a
way which it is enumerated other than the tables being parsed
during the CPU bringup process.

This also fixes sysfs because CPUs with the same 'physical_package_id'
in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/ are not listed together
in the same 'core_siblings_list'.  This violates a statement from
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu:

	core_siblings: internal kernel map of cpu#'s hardware threads
	within the same physical_package_id.

	core_siblings_list: human-readable list of the logical CPU
	numbers within the same physical_package_id as cpu#.

The sysfs effects here cause an issue with the hwloc tool where
it gets confused and thinks there are more sockets than are
physically present.

Before this set, there are two packages:

# cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/
# cat cpu*/topology/physical_package_id | sort | uniq -c
     18 0
     18 1

But 4 _sets_ of core siblings:

# cat cpu*/topology/core_siblings_list | sort | uniq -c
      9 0-8
      9 18-26
      9 27-35
      9 9-17

After this set, there are only 2 sets of core siblings, which
is what we expect for a 2-socket system.

# cat cpu*/topology/physical_package_id | sort | uniq -c
     18 0
     18 1
# cat cpu*/topology/core_siblings_list | sort | uniq -c
     18 0-17
     18 18-35


Example spew:
...
	NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
	 #2  #3  #4  #5  #6  #7  #8
	.... node  #1, CPUs:    #9
