Subject: [RFC PATCH] ARM: Export the CPU logical map to modules
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 17:34:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1359394444-16610-1-git-send-email-dave.martin@linaro.org> (raw)

It is reasonable for loadable modules to be CPU topology aware
(particular examples include cpufreq and cpuidle drivers).

This patch exports __cpu_logical_map, so that modules can use the
cpu_logical_map() interface declared in <asm/smp_plat.h>.

If anyone has a strong view on whether this should be
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), I don't have a problem with changing
that.  I'm not sure of the precise etiquette here.
Certainly this does not feel like a very "public" interface.

Perhaps we should wrap this in a real function for export
to modules, rather than encouraging them to poke the
__cpu_logical_map[] array (albeit via a predefined macro).
