Subject: [PATCH v8 1/3] powerpc: Detect the presence of big-cores via "ibm, thread-groups"

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 22:52:37 +0530

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <[email-masked]>

On IBM POWER9, the device tree exposes a property array identifed by
"ibm,thread-groups" which will indicate which groups of threads share a
particular set of resources.

As of today we only have one form of grouping identifying the group of
threads in the core that share the L1 cache, translation cache and
instruction data flow.

This patch

     1) Defines the helper function to parse the contents of
     "ibm,thread-groups".

     2) On boot, it parses the "ibm,thread-groups" property and caches
     the CPU-threads sharing the L1 cache in a per-cpu variable named
     cpu_l1_cache_map.

     3) Initializes a global variable named "has_big_cores" on
     big-core systems.

     4) Each time a CPU is onlined, it initializes the
     cpu_smallcore_mask which contains the online siblings of the
     CPU that share the L1 cache with this CPU.
