[PATCH 3/3] powerpc/cacheinfo: Print correct cache-sibling map/list for L2 cache

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On POWER platforms where only some groups of threads within a core
share the L2-cache (indicated by the ibm,thread-groups device-tree
property), we currently print the incorrect shared_cpu_map/list for
L2-cache in the sysfs.

This patch reports the correct shared_cpu_map/list on such platforms.

Example:
On a platform with "ibm,thread-groups" set to
                 00000001 00000002 00000004 00000000
                 00000002 00000004 00000006 00000001
                 00000003 00000005 00000007 00000002
                 00000002 00000004 00000000 00000002
                 00000004 00000006 00000001 00000003
                 00000005 00000007

This indicates that threads {0,2,4,6} in the core share the L2-cache
and threads {1,3,5,7} in the core share the L2 cache.

However, without the patch, the shared_cpu_map/list for L2 for CPUs 0,
1 is reported in the sysfs as follows:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index2/shared_cpu_list:0-7
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map:000000,000000ff

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cache/index2/shared_cpu_list:0-7
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map:000000,000000ff

With the patch, the shared_cpu_map/list for L2 cache for CPUs 0, 1 is
correctly reported as follows:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index2/shared_cpu_list:0,2,4,6
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map:000000,00000055

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cache/index2/shared_cpu_list:1,3,5,7
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map:000000,000000aa
