RISC-V & arm64 both use an almost identical method of filling in
default vales for arch topology. Create a weakly defined default
implementation with the intent of migrating both archs to use it.

Does using __weak here make sense to you?

Yeah, that was my intention. I meant to label patch 1/4 as "PATCH"
and (2,3,4)/4 as RFC but forgot. I talked with Palmer about doing
the risc-v impl. and then migrate both on IRC & he seemed happy with
it.
If you're okay with patch 1/4, I'll resubmit it as a standalone v2.
Thanks,
Conor.

I prefer to have this as default implementation. So just get the risc-v
one pushed to upstream first(for v5.20) and get all the backports if required.
Next cycle(i.e. v5.21), you can move both RISC-V and arm64.

Why not ignore risc-v for now, and move the arm64 implementation to
the generic code for v5.20, so every arch will have it at once?

I don't want any weak definition and arch to override as we know only
arm64 and RISC-V are the only users and they are aligned to have same
implementation. So weak definition doesn't make sense to me.

That would be great, thanks. You can most the code to move to generic from

We could but,
1. This arch_topology is new and has been going through lot of changes
recently and having code there might make it difficult to backport
changes that are required for RISC-V(my guess)
2. May be too late for v5.20, I would like to see if we can even drop tiny
arm64 bit in the code. It may be risky to try that this late and also
with other topology changes we already have queued.
Let me know if that makes sense.

Worry about future issues in the future. Make it simple now as you know
what you are dealing with at the moment.

Right. I had used __weak b/c I didn't know how to split the migration
into smaller patches per arch without breaking the build due to
multiple definitions of store_cpu_topology().

Right, that sounds like a plan (well, pending geert's concerns).
Could I have your R-b on patch 1? The comments you made about
removing the duplicate function should be resolved.

Sure, I was just suggesting and expecting someone from RISC-V community or
maintainers to make a call. As I said it is based on my understanding.
hence I have mentioned as guess. So I am not against it as such.

I did a little bit of poking in the git history.
The last code touching the arm implementation was:
3102bc0e6ac7 ("arm64: topology: Stop using MPIDR for topology information")
on Fri Oct 2 12:01:41 2020 +0100
The introduction of arch-topology stuff to RISC-V was:
03f11f03dbfe ("RISC-V: Parse cpu topology during boot.")
on Thu Jun 27 12:53:00 2019 -0700
Backporting as far as v5.10 should be no real effort and I don't think
to v5.4 that should be meaninfully harder. If 3102bc0e6ac7 hasn't been
backported already, maybe it should be since it appears to have been
fixing a problem too.
Based on that, I think doing this the straightforward way in the first
place is a better idea.
I'll respin the series as:
patch 1: Move arm64 to the generic implementation
patch 2: Make RISC-V use the generic implementation
Thanks,
Conor.

Thanks for doing the research and sorry for the noise earlier.

I don't think the mpidr check we have there is of much use IMO. You can
drop that and see if arm64 maintainers and/or others agree. As you have
already figured, since 3102bc0e6ac7 we are not using MPIDR and the one
check we have is optional IMO. So you can either drop it or keep it as
in your RFC and then post updates.
