[PATCH 3/7] Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/ topologyfiles

From: Alex Chiang
Date: Wed Oct 21 2009 - 23:45:38 EST


Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max
/sys/devices/system/cpu/offline
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online
/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible
/sys/devices/system/cpu/present

Excerpted the relevant information from Documentation/cputopology.txt
and pointed back to cputopology.txt as the authoritative source of
information.

+Description: CPU topology files that describe kernel limits related to
+ hotplug. Briefly:
+
+ kernel_max: the maximum cpu index allowed by the kernel
+ configuration.
+
+ offline: cpus that are not online because they have been
+ HOTPLUGGED off or exceed the limit of cpus allowed by the
+ kernel configuration (kernel_max above).
+
+ online: cpus that are online and being scheduled.
+
+ possible: cpus that have been allocated resources and can be
+ brought online if they are present.
+
+ present: cpus that have been identified as being present in
+ the system.
+
+ See Documentation/cputopology.txt for more information.
