cpumask: add sysfs displays for configured and disabled cpu maps
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Impact: add new sysfs files.

Add sysfs files "kernel_max" and "offline" to display the max CPU index
allowed (NR_CPUS-1), and the map of cpus that are offline.

Cpus can be offlined via HOTPLUG, disabled by the BIOS ACPI tables, or
if they exceed the number of cpus allowed by the NR_CPUS config option,
or the "maxcpus=NUM" kernel start parameter.

The "possible_cpus=NUM" parameter can also extend the number of possible
cpus allowed, in which case the cpus not present at startup will be
in the offline state.  (These cpus can be HOTPLUGGED ON after system
startup [pending a follow-on patch to provide the capability via the
/sys/devices/sys/cpu/cpuN/online mechanism to bring them online.])

By design, the "offlined cpus > possible cpus" display will always
use the following formats:

  * all possible cpus online:   "x$"    or "x-y$"
  * some possible cpus offline: ".*,x$" or ".*,x-y$"

where:
  x == number of possible cpus (nr_cpu_ids); and
  y == number of cpus >= NR_CPUS or maxcpus (if y > x).

One use of this feature is for distros to select (or configure) the
appropriate kernel to install for the resident system.

Notes:
  * cpus offlined <= possible cpus will be printed for all architectures.
  * cpus offlined >  possible cpus will only be printed for arches that
  	set 'total_cpus' [X86 only in this patch].

Based on tip/cpus4096 + .../rusty/linux-2.6-for-ingo.git/master +
	 x86-only-patches sent 12/15.
