UBUNTU: SAUCE: x86, sched: Add new topology for multi-NUMA-node CPUs
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1338919 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1338919/comments/11 I'm getting the spew below when booting with Haswell (Xeon E5-2699 v3) CPUs and the "Cluster-on-Die" (CoD) feature enabled in the BIOS. It seems similar to the issue that some folks from AMD ran in to on their systems and addressed in this commit: 161270f ("x86/smp: Fix topology checks on AMD MCM CPUs") Both these Intel and AMD systems break an assumption which is being enforced by topology_sane(): a socket may not contain more than one NUMA node. AMD special-cased their system by looking for a cpuid flag. The Intel mode is dependent on BIOS options and I do not know of a way which it is enumerated other than the tables being parsed during the CPU bringup process. In other words, we have to trust the ACPI tables <shudder>. This detects the situation where a NUMA node occurs at a place in the middle of the "CPU" sched domains. It replaces the default topology with one that relies on the NUMA information from the firmware (SRAT table) for all levels of sched domains above the hyperthreads. This also fixes a sysfs bug. We used to freak out when we saw the "mc" group cross a node boundary, so we stopped building the MC group. MC gets exported as the 'core_siblings_list' in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/ and this caused CPUs with the same 'physical_package_id' to not be listed together in 'core_siblings_list'. This violates a statement from Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu: core_siblings: internal kernel map of cpu#'s hardware threads within the same physical_package_id. core_siblings_list: human-readable list of the logical CPU numbers within the same physical_package_id as cpu#. The sysfs effects here cause an issue with the hwloc tool where it gets confused and thinks there are more sockets than are physically present. Before this patch, there are two packages: 18 0 18 1 But 4 _sets_ of core siblings: 9 0-8 9 18-26 9 27-35 9 9-17 After this set, there are only 2 sets of core siblings, which is what we expect for a 2-socket system. 18 0 18 1 18 0-17 18 18-35 Example spew: ...
