docs: admin-guide: add a series of orphaned documents

2019-07-15T14:03:02+00:00

There are lots of documents that belong to the admin-guide but are on random places (most under Documentation root dir). Move them to the admin guide. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Alexandre Belloni Acked-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz

topology: Create core_cpus and die_cpus sysfs attributes

2019-05-23T08:08:34+00:00

Create CPU topology sysfs attributes: "core_cpus" and "core_cpus_list" These attributes represent all of the logical CPUs that share the same core. These attriutes is synonymous with the existing "thread_siblings" and "thread_siblings_list" attribute, which will be deprecated. Create CPU topology sysfs attributes: "die_cpus" and "die_cpus_list". These attributes represent all of the logical CPUs that share the same die.

topology: Create package_cpus sysfs attribute

2019-05-23T08:08:34+00:00

The existing sysfs cpu/topology/core_siblings (and core_siblings_list) attributes are documented, implemented, and used by programs to represent set of logical CPUs sharing the same package. This makes sense if the next topology level above a core is always a package. But on systems where there is a die topology level between a core and a package, the name and its definition become inconsistent. So without changing its function, add a name for this map that describes what it actually is -- package CPUs -- the set of CPUs that share the same package. This new name will be immune to changes in topology, since it describes threads at the current level, not siblings at a contained level.

cputopology.txt: standardize document format

2017-07-14T19:51:30+00:00

Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - Add a title for the document; - mark literals; - use table markup for existing table.

topology/sysfs: provide drawer id and siblings attributes

2016-06-13T13:58:27+00:00

The s390 cpu topology gained another hierarchy level. The top level is now called drawer and contains several books. A book used to be the top level. In order to expose the cpu topology to user space allow to create new sysfs attributes dependent on CONFIG_SCHED_DRAWER which an architecture may define and select. These additional attributes will be available: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/drawer_id /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/drawer_siblings /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/drawer_siblings_list Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Documentation: Update cputopology.txt

2015-05-27T13:22:15+00:00

The documentation on cpu topology seems to be a bit out-of-date. It doesn't mention the **_siblings_list attributes and uses old names for topology_**_cpumask() macros. Add information on missing attributes plus some additional clarifications.
