Topology evaluation is a complete disaster and impenetrable mess. It's
scattered all over the place with some vendor implementations doing early
evaluation and some not. The most horrific part is the permanent
overwriting of smt_max_siblings and __max_die_per_package, instead of
establishing them once on the boot CPU and validating the result on the
APs.
The goals are:
- One topology evaluation entry point
- Proper sharing of pointlessly duplicated code
- Proper structuring of the evaluation logic and preferences.
- Evaluating important system wide information only once on the boot CPU
- Making the 0xb/0x1f leaf parsing less convoluted and actually fixing
the short comings of leaf 0x1f evaluation.
Start to consolidate the topology evaluation code by providing the entry
points for the early boot CPU evaluation and for the final parsing on the
boot CPU and the APs.
Move the trivial pieces into that new code:
- The initialization of cpuinfo_x86::topo
- The evaluation of CPUID leaf 1, which presets topo::initial_apicid
- topo_apicid is set to topo::initial_apicid when invoked from early
boot. When invoked for the final evaluation on the boot CPU it reads
the actual APIC ID, which makes apic_get_initial_apicid() obsolete
once everything is converted over.
Provide a temporary helper function topo_converted() which shields off the
not yet converted CPU vendors from invoking code which would break them.
This shielding covers all vendor CPUs which support SMP, but not the
historical pure UP ones as they only need the topology info init and
eventually the initial APIC initialization.
Provide two new members in cpuinfo_x86::topo to store the maximum number of
SMT siblings and the number of dies per package and add them to the debugfs
readout. These two members will be used to populate this information on the
boot CPU and to validate the APs against it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
