[PATCH] cacheinfo: Introduce cache id

From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Wed Jun 29 2016 - 18:56:21 EST


From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

Each cache node is described by cacheinfo and is a unique node across
the platform. But there is no id for a cache node. We introduce cache ID
to identify a cache node.

Intel Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows some control on the
allocation policy within each cache that it controls. We need a unique
cache ID for each cache level to allow the user to specify which
controls are applied to which cache.

The cache id is first enabled on x86. It can be enabled on other platforms
as well. The cache id is not necessary contiguous.

Add an "id" entry to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/
