[PATCH 1/9] x86/intel_cqm: Modify hot cpu notification handling

From: Vikas Shivappa
Date: Thu Jun 25 2015 - 15:28:30 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
same map 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.
