Hi,

Thanks for taking a look at this.

ACPI 6.2 adds a new table, which describes how processing units
are related to each other in tree like fashion. Caches are
also sprinkled throughout the tree and describe the properties
of the caches in relation to other caches and processing units.

Add the code to parse the cache hierarchy and report the total
number of levels of cache for a given core using
acpi_find_last_cache_level() as well as fill out the individual
cores cache information with cache_setup_acpi() once the
cpu_cacheinfo structure has been populated by the arch specific
code.

An additional patch later in the set adds the ability to report
peers in the topology using find_acpi_cpu_topology()
to report a unique ID for each processing unit at a given level
in the tree. These unique id's can then be used to match related
processing units which exist as threads, COD (clusters
on die), within a given package, etc.

A couple of cosmetic comments.

If you add a comment above a function, make it a kerneldoc. That
never hurts, but really helps sometimes.

Sure, I did that for the visible symbols. I will convert the internal ones as well.

Don't break the line here, it can be broken after the first arg.

That's OK even if it is more than 80 chars long.

You don't need to break this line too.

Inner parens are not necessary (and above and in some other places too).
Sure.


+ pr_err("Found duplicate cache level/type unable to determine uniqueness\n");

This is not an error, rather a statement that something is inconsistent in the
ACPI table, so please consider using a different log level here.

pr_warn seems to be the other common choice in the acpi directory for table errors, I will will use that.



[cut]

I guess I could post similar comments for the other general ACPI patches in
this series, so please address them in there too if applicable.


Ok, I will look over them again.

Thanks,


Thanks!
