Subject: [PATCH 3/6] powerpc: Add threads_per_subcore
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2014 11:32:42 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1398303165-6576-4-git-send-email-mikey@neuling.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1398303165-6576-1-git-send-email-mikey@neuling.org>

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

On POWER8 we have a new concept of a subcore. This is what happens when
you take a regular core and split it. A subcore is a grouping of two or
four SMT threads, as well as a handfull of SPRs which allows the subcore
to appear as if it were a core from the point of view of a guest.

Unlike threads_per_core which is fixed at boot, threads_per_subcore can
change while the system is running. Most code will not want to use
threads_per_subcore.
