[PATCH 02/10] x86/intel_cqm: Modify hot cpu notification handling

From: Vikas Shivappa
Date: Tue Jun 23 2015 - 19:01:13 EST


This patch modifies hot cpu notification handling in Intel cache
monitoring:

- to add a new cpu to the cqm_cpumask(which has one cpu per package)
during cpu start, it uses the existing package<->core map instead of
looping through all cpus in cqm_cpumask.
- to search for the next online sibling during cpu exit, it uses the
cpumask_any_online_but instead of looping through all online cpus. In
large systems with large number of cpus the time taken to loop may be
expensive and also the time increase linearly.
