For family17h, current cpu_core_id is directly taken from the value

(where not all physical cores within a die are available), this could
result in the case where cpu_core_id > (cores_per_node - 1).

And that is a problem because...?

Actually, this is not totally accurate. My apology. This patch is mainly fix to incorrect core ID in /proc/cpuinfo. I'll update the commit message accordingly for V5.

Currently, with 6-core downcore configuration (out of normally 8), /proc/cpuinfo is currently showing "core id" as.

NODE: 0
cpu 0 core id : 0
cpu 1 core id : 1
cpu 2 core id : 2
cpu 3 core id : 4
cpu 4 core id : 5
cpu 5 core id : 0

NODE: 1
cpu 6 core id : 2
cpu 7 core id : 3
cpu 8 core id : 4
cpu 9 core id : 0
cpu 10 core id : 1
cpu 11 core id : 2

NODE: ....

This is due to the cpu_core_id fixup in amd_get_topology() below:

/* fixup multi-node processor information */
if (nodes_per_socket > 1) {
u32 cus_per_node;

set_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_AMD_DCM);
cus_per_node = c->x86_max_cores / nodes_per_socket;

/* core id has to be in the [0 .. cores_per_node - 1] range */
c->cpu_core_id %= cus_per_node;
}

In this case, the cpu_core_id are {0, 1, 2 ,4, 5, 6, 8 , 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, ...}. Here, the x86_max_cores is 24, the node_per_socket is 4, and cus_per_node is 6. When apply the fix up, the cpu_core_id ended up incorrect as shown above. This logic assumes that the cpu_core_id are contiguous across the socket.

With this patch, this fixup is not needed since the c->cpu_core_id are already between [0, 6].

Ok, so Janakarajan did some L3 detection:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cover.1497452002.git.Janakarajan.Natarajan@xxxxxxx

and now that you need it too, I'd like you to refactor and unify that
L3 detection code and put it in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c
(yes, we will rename that file one fine day :-)) along with accessors
for other users to call. init_amd_cacheinfo() looks good to me right
now.


Let me look into this to re-factoring for reuse here.

Why do we need it to be contiguous? It is not contiguous on Intel too.

If this needs to be executed unconditionally, just move it out of the
switch-case.


Well, for now, it has to be for non-family17h, which seems odd. I am planning to clean this up as well.

Thanks,
