Allow sysconf to return CPU cache information
* include/sys/unistd.h (_SC_LEVEL*): Add cache-related variables as on Linux. * fhandler_proc.cc (format_proc_cpuinfo): Fetch cache information from new cache functions in sysconf.cc, get_cpu_cache_intel and get_cpu_cache_amd. * sysconf.cc (__nt_query_system): New local helper. (get_nproc_values): Utilize __nt_query_system on pre-Windows 7 systems. Use GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx otherwise to handle more than 64 CPUs. Only handle _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF and _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN. (get_phys_pages): New helper to handle _SC_PHYS_PAGES. (cpuid2_cache_descriptor): New array to map Intel CPUID 2 descriptor values to cache type, cache size, associativity and linesize. (cpuid2_cache_desc_compar): Comparision function for bsearch over cpuid2_cache_descriptor. (get_cpu_cache_intel_cpuid2): New function to fetch cache info from Intel CPUID 2. (get_cpu_cache_intel_cpuid4): Ditto from Intel CPUID 4. (get_cpu_cache_intel): New function as CPU-specific entry point. (assoc): New array to map associativity values from AMD CPUID 0x80000006. (get_cpu_cache_amd): New function to fetch cache info from AMD CPUIDs 0x80000005 and 0x80000006. (get_cpu_cache): New function to fetch cache info. (sca): Call get_phys_pages if _SC_PHYS_PAGES is requested. Call get_cpu_cache for new _SC_* cache requests. (SC_MAX): Set to _SC_LEVEL4_CACHE_LINESIZE. (get_phys_pages(void)): Call get_phys_pages(int). * include/cygwin/version.h (CYGWIN_VERSION_API_MINOR): Bump. * new-features.xml (ov-new2.3): Document sysconf cache addition.
