[PATCH 0/2] x86/CPU/AMD: Fix multi-die processor topology info
From: Suravee Suthikulpanit
Date: Tue Jun 27 2017 - 02:41:58 EST
This patch series changes how kernel derives cpu "package" from
package-as-socket to package-as-die in order to fix following issues
on AMD family17h multi-die processor platforms:
* irqbalance fails to allocating IRQs to individual CPU within the die.
* The scheduler fails to load-balance across 8 threads within a die
(e.g. running 8-thread application w/ taskset -c 0-7 ) with
the DIE schedule domain omitted due to x86_has_numa_in_package.
These issues are fixed when properly intepretes package as DIE.
This series has also been tested on existing AMD systems w/ family15h
and family10h multi-die processors.

x86/CPU/AMD: Present package as die instead of socket
x86/CPU/AMD: Use L3 Cache info from CPUID to determine LLC ID
