[PATCH RESEND v7 1/2] perf pmu intel: Generalize SNC cpumask adjustment for multiple platforms

From: Chun-Tse Shao

Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 18:20:14 EST


Prepare for supporting more Intel platforms with sub-NUMA clustering by
generalizing the GNR specific logic.

v7:
Fixed based on Sashiko review:
- Refactor PMU initialization to be fully thread-safe using
pthread_once and pthread_mutex locks.
- Fix a critical bounds check bug on single-socket systems.
- Fix potential divide-by-zero crash in uncore_cha_snc.
- Avoid spurious warnings on non-SNC systems.
- Avoid silent and inconsistent uncore mappings on unsupported SNC
configurations.
- Resolve checkpatch linter warnings.

v6: lore.kernel.org/20260515172710.428474-1-ctshao@xxxxxxxxxx
Make string literal.
Add SPR into SNC2.

v5: lore.kernel.org/20260407203918.3178481-1-ctshao@xxxxxxxxxx
Split patch.

v4: lore.kernel.org/20260402205300.1953706-1-ctshao@xxxxxxxxxx
Rebase.

v3: lore.kernel.org/20260212223942.3832857-1-ctshao@xxxxxxxxxx
Fix a typo.

v2: lore.kernel.org/20260205232220.1980168-1-ctshao@xxxxxxxxxx
Split EMR and GNR in the SNC2 IMC cpu map.
