Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Allow modules to read cpu_logical_map
Date: Fri,  8 Feb 2013 12:19:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360325980-19089-1-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 a new function cpu_get_hwid(cpu) to provide
suitable read-only access outside vmlinux.

Signed-off-by: Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org>
---
Modules using this function will be arch-dependent and highly coupled to
the kernel, so cpu_get_hwid() shouldn't be considered a stable API,
especially while the details of kernel topology awareness are still
under discussion: therefore, export only to GPL code for now.
