      cpumask: add sysfs displays for configured and disabled cpu maps · e057d7ae
      Mike Travis authored
      
      
      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].

      	 x86-only-patches sent 12/15.

      cpumask: Add alloc_cpumask_var_node() · 7b4967c5
      Mike Travis authored
      
      
      Impact: New API
      
      This will be needed in x86 code to allocate the domain and old_domain
      cpumasks on the same node as where the containing irq_cfg struct is
      allocated.
      
      (Also fixes double-dump_stack on rare CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS case)
