[PATCH RFC 5/5] powerpc:numa Use chipid to nid mapping to get serial numa node ids

From: Raghavendra K T
Date: Sun Sep 27 2015 - 14:29:08 EST


Also properly initialize numa distance table for serial nids.

Problem: Powerpc supports sparse nid numbering which could affect
1) memory footprint 2) virtualization use cases

Current solution:
The patch maps sprase chipid got fromn device tree to serail
nids.

Result before:
node 0 1 16 17
0: 10 20 40 40
1: 20 10 40 40
16: 40 40 10 20
17: 40 40 20 10

After:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 20 40 40
1: 20 10 40 40
2: 40 40 10 20
3: 40 40 20 10

Testing: Scenarios tested on baremetal and KVM guest with 4 nodes
1) offlining and onlining memory and cpus
2) Running the tests from numactl source.
3) Creating 1000s of docker containers stressing the system
