-CPU topology binding description
-===========================================
-
-===========================================
-1 - Introduction
-===========================================
-
-In a SMP system, the hierarchy of CPUs is defined through three entities that
-are used to describe the layout of physical CPUs in the system:
-
-- socket
-- cluster
-- core
-- thread
-
-The bottom hierarchy level sits at core or thread level depending on whether
-symmetric multi-threading (SMT) is supported or not.
-
-For instance in a system where CPUs support SMT, "cpu" nodes represent all
-threads existing in the system and map to the hierarchy level "thread" above.
-In systems where SMT is not supported "cpu" nodes represent all cores present
-in the system and map to the hierarchy level "core" above.
-
-CPU topology bindings allow one to associate cpu nodes with hierarchical groups
-corresponding to the system hierarchy; syntactically they are defined as device
-tree nodes.
-
-Currently, only ARM/RISC-V intend to use this cpu topology binding but it may be
-used for any other architecture as well.
-
-The cpu nodes, as per bindings defined in [4], represent the devices that
-correspond to physical CPUs and are to be mapped to the hierarchy levels.
-
-A topology description containing phandles to cpu nodes that are not compliant
-with bindings standardized in [4] is therefore considered invalid.
-
-===========================================
-2 - cpu-map node
-===========================================
-
-The ARM/RISC-V CPU topology is defined within the cpu-map node, which is a direct
-child of the cpus node and provides a container where the actual topology
-nodes are listed.
-
-- cpu-map node
-
- Usage: Optional - On SMP systems provide CPUs topology to the OS.
- Uniprocessor systems do not require a topology
- description and therefore should not define a
- cpu-map node.
-
- Description: The cpu-map node is just a container node where its
- subnodes describe the CPU topology.
-
- Node name must be "cpu-map".
-
- The cpu-map node's parent node must be the cpus node.
-
- The cpu-map node's child nodes can be:
-
- - one or more cluster nodes or
- - one or more socket nodes in a multi-socket system
-
- Any other configuration is considered invalid.
-
-The cpu-map node can only contain 4 types of child nodes:
-
-- socket node
-- cluster node
-- core node
-- thread node
-
-whose bindings are described in paragraph 3.
-
-The nodes describing the CPU topology (socket/cluster/core/thread) can
-only be defined within the cpu-map node and every core/thread in the
-system must be defined within the topology. Any other configuration is
-invalid and therefore must be ignored.
-
-===========================================
-2.1 - cpu-map child nodes naming convention
-===========================================
-
-cpu-map child nodes must follow a naming convention where the node name
-must be "socketN", "clusterN", "coreN", "threadN" depending on the node type
-(ie socket/cluster/core/thread) (where N = {0, 1, ...} is the node number; nodes
-which are siblings within a single common parent node must be given a unique and
-sequential N value, starting from 0).
-cpu-map child nodes which do not share a common parent node can have the same
-name (ie same number N as other cpu-map child nodes at different device tree
-levels) since name uniqueness will be guaranteed by the device tree hierarchy.
-
-===========================================
-3 - socket/cluster/core/thread node bindings
-===========================================
-
-Bindings for socket/cluster/cpu/thread nodes are defined as follows:
-
-- socket node
-
- Description: must be declared within a cpu-map node, one node
- per physical socket in the system. A system can
- contain single or multiple physical socket.
- The association of sockets and NUMA nodes is beyond
- the scope of this bindings, please refer [2] for
- NUMA bindings.
-
- This node is optional for a single socket system.
-
- The socket node name must be "socketN" as described in 2.1 above.
- A socket node can not be a leaf node.
-
- A socket node's child nodes must be one or more cluster nodes.
-
- Any other configuration is considered invalid.
-
-- cluster node
-
- Description: must be declared within a cpu-map node, one node
- per cluster. A system can contain several layers of
- clustering within a single physical socket and cluster
- nodes can be contained in parent cluster nodes.
-
- The cluster node name must be "clusterN" as described in 2.1 above.
- A cluster node can not be a leaf node.
-
- A cluster node's child nodes must be:
-
- - one or more cluster nodes; or
- - one or more core nodes
-
- Any other configuration is considered invalid.
-
-- core node
-
- Description: must be declared in a cluster node, one node per core in
- the cluster. If the system does not support SMT, core
- nodes are leaf nodes, otherwise they become containers of
- thread nodes.
-
- The core node name must be "coreN" as described in 2.1 above.
-
- A core node must be a leaf node if SMT is not supported.
-
- Properties for core nodes that are leaf nodes:
-
- - cpu
- Usage: required
- Value type: <phandle>
- Definition: a phandle to the cpu node that corresponds to the
- core node.
-
- If a core node is not a leaf node (CPUs supporting SMT) a core node's
- child nodes can be:
-
- - one or more thread nodes
-
- Any other configuration is considered invalid.
-
-- thread node
-
- Description: must be declared in a core node, one node per thread
- in the core if the system supports SMT. Thread nodes are
- always leaf nodes in the device tree.
-
- The thread node name must be "threadN" as described in 2.1 above.
-
- A thread node must be a leaf node.
-
- A thread node must contain the following property:
-
- - cpu
- Usage: required
- Value type: <phandle>
- Definition: a phandle to the cpu node that corresponds to
- the thread node.
