Current cpu_core_id fixup causes downcored F17h configurations to be incorrect: NODE: 0 processor 0 core id : 0 processor 1 core id : 1 processor 2 core id : 2 processor 3 core id : 4 processor 4 core id : 5 processor 5 core id : 0 NODE: 1 processor 6 core id : 2 processor 7 core id : 3 processor 8 core id : 4 processor 9 core id : 0 processor 10 core id : 1 processor 11 core id : 2 Code that relies on the cpu_core_id, like match_smt(), for example, which builds the thread siblings masks used by the scheduler, is mislead. So, limit the fixup to pre-F17h machines. The new value for cpu_core_id for F17h and later will represent the CPUID_Fn8000001E_EBX[CoreId], which is guaranteed to be unique for each core within a socket. This way we have: NODE: 0 processor 0 core id : 0 processor 1 core id : 1 processor 2 core id : 2 processor 3 core id : 4 processor 4 core id : 5 processor 5 core id : 6 NODE: 1 processor 6 core id : 8 processor 7 core id : 9 processor 8 core id : 10 processor 9 core id : 12 processor 10 core id : 13 processor 11 core id : 14 Signed-off-by: Suravee Suthikulpanit <suravee.suthikulpanit@amd.com> [ Heavily massaged. ] Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Yazen Ghannam <Yazen.Ghannam@amd.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170731085159.9455-2-bp@alien8.de Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
