Re: [PATCH v2 0/6] Support PPTT for ARM64

Hi Jeremy,

I have tested it on D05 board, the sysfs can display right information about
cpu topo and cache topo, except that the core_id and physical_package_id are
not continuous and counting from zero. But this doesn't influence the system.

Thanks,
Xiongfeng Wang
