Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] topology/sysfs: only export used sysfs attributes

v2:
As requested by Greg KH: avoid negative logic and use uppercase defines.

v1:
Create die and cluster cpu topology sysfs attributes only if an
architecture makes uses of it, instead of creating them always for all
architectures with bogus default values.
Also change the book and drawer cpu topology macros so they match all
all other topology macros.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

topology/sysfs: export die attributes only if an architectures has support
topology/sysfs: export cluster attributes only if an architectures has support

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] topology/sysfs: export die attributes only if an architectures has support

The die_id and die_cpus topology sysfs attributes have been added with
commit 0e344d8c709f ("cpu/topology: Export die_id") and commit
2e4c54dac7b3 ("topology: Create core_cpus and die_cpus sysfs attributes").

While they are currently only used and useful for x86 they are still
present with bogus default values for all architectures. Instead of
enforcing such new sysfs attributes to all architectures, make them
only optional visible if an architecture opts in by defining both the
topology_die_id and topology_die_cpumask attributes.

This is similar to what was done when the book and drawer topology
levels were introduced: avoid useless and therefore confusing sysfs
attributes for architectures which cannot make use of them.

This should not break any existing applications, since this is a
rather new interface and applications should be able to handle also
older kernel versions without such attributes - besides that they
contain only useful information for x86.

Since there seem to be no objections, who should pick this up?
I'd assume the s390 tree would not be appropriate.

Andrew, Greg, Peter?

Could you give me one minute?

+Brice

I'd like to hear some feedbacks from hwloc if there
is a chance to break userspace and if userspace depends
on the existence of sysfs even though the topology
doesn't exist.

If no, I feel it is safe to take.

Hello

If the question is whether hwloc *requires* cluster/die/book/drawer
sysfs files to exist, then the answer is no. We have to support old
kernels without those files anyway.

Thanks for clarification, Brice. I saw hwloc is reading sysfs
drawer, book and cluster. But since it doesn't assume their
existence in sysfs, I have more confidence on this patchset
now.

Greg, please ignore my comment then :-)
