| x86 Topology | ||
| ============ | ||
|
|
||
| This documents and clarifies the main aspects of x86 topology modelling and | ||
| representation in the kernel. Update/change when doing changes to the | ||
| respective code. | ||
|
|
||
| The architecture-agnostic topology definitions are in | ||
| Documentation/cputopology.txt. This file holds x86-specific | ||
| differences/specialities which must not necessarily apply to the generic | ||
| definitions. Thus, the way to read up on Linux topology on x86 is to start | ||
| with the generic one and look at this one in parallel for the x86 specifics. | ||
|
|
||
| Needless to say, code should use the generic functions - this file is *only* | ||
| here to *document* the inner workings of x86 topology. | ||
|
|
||
| Started by Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> and Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>. | ||
|
|
||
| The main aim of the topology facilities is to present adequate interfaces to | ||
| code which needs to know/query/use the structure of the running system wrt | ||
| threads, cores, packages, etc. | ||
|
|
||
| The kernel does not care about the concept of physical sockets because a | ||
| socket has no relevance to software. It's an electromechanical component. In | ||
| the past a socket always contained a single package (see below), but with the | ||
| advent of Multi Chip Modules (MCM) a socket can hold more than one package. So | ||
| there might be still references to sockets in the code, but they are of | ||
| historical nature and should be cleaned up. | ||
|
|
||
| The topology of a system is described in the units of: | ||
|
|
||
| - packages | ||
| - cores | ||
| - threads | ||
|
|
||
| * Package: | ||
|
|
||
| Packages contain a number of cores plus shared resources, e.g. DRAM | ||
| controller, shared caches etc. | ||
|
|
||
| AMD nomenclature for package is 'Node'. | ||
|
|
||
| Package-related topology information in the kernel: | ||
|
|
||
| - cpuinfo_x86.x86_max_cores: | ||
|
|
||
| The number of cores in a package. This information is retrieved via CPUID. | ||
|
|
||
| - cpuinfo_x86.phys_proc_id: | ||
|
|
||
| The physical ID of the package. This information is retrieved via CPUID | ||
| and deduced from the APIC IDs of the cores in the package. | ||
|
|
||
| - cpuinfo_x86.logical_id: | ||
|
|
||
| The logical ID of the package. As we do not trust BIOSes to enumerate the | ||
| packages in a consistent way, we introduced the concept of logical package | ||
| ID so we can sanely calculate the number of maximum possible packages in | ||
| the system and have the packages enumerated linearly. | ||
|
|
||
| - topology_max_packages(): | ||
|
|
||
| The maximum possible number of packages in the system. Helpful for per | ||
| package facilities to preallocate per package information. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| * Cores: | ||
|
|
||
| A core consists of 1 or more threads. It does not matter whether the threads | ||
| are SMT- or CMT-type threads. | ||
|
|
||
| AMDs nomenclature for a CMT core is "Compute Unit". The kernel always uses | ||
| "core". | ||
|
|
||
| Core-related topology information in the kernel: | ||
|
|
||
| - smp_num_siblings: | ||
|
|
||
| The number of threads in a core. The number of threads in a package can be | ||
| calculated by: | ||
|
|
||
| threads_per_package = cpuinfo_x86.x86_max_cores * smp_num_siblings | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| * Threads: | ||
|
|
||
| A thread is a single scheduling unit. It's the equivalent to a logical Linux | ||
| CPU. | ||
|
|
||
| AMDs nomenclature for CMT threads is "Compute Unit Core". The kernel always | ||
| uses "thread". | ||
|
|
||
| Thread-related topology information in the kernel: | ||
|
|
||
| - topology_core_cpumask(): | ||
|
|
||
| The cpumask contains all online threads in the package to which a thread | ||
| belongs. | ||
|
|
||
| The number of online threads is also printed in /proc/cpuinfo "siblings." | ||
|
|
||
| - topology_sibling_mask(): | ||
|
|
||
| The cpumask contains all online threads in the core to which a thread | ||
| belongs. | ||
|
|
||
| - topology_logical_package_id(): | ||
|
|
||
| The logical package ID to which a thread belongs. | ||
|
|
||
| - topology_physical_package_id(): | ||
|
|
||
| The physical package ID to which a thread belongs. | ||
|
|
||
| - topology_core_id(); | ||
|
|
||
| The ID of the core to which a thread belongs. It is also printed in /proc/cpuinfo | ||
| "core_id." | ||
|
|
||

| System topology examples | ||
|
|
||
| Note: | ||
|
|
||
| The alternative Linux CPU enumeration depends on how the BIOS enumerates the | ||
| threads. Many BIOSes enumerate all threads 0 first and then all threads 1. | ||
| That has the "advantage" that the logical Linux CPU numbers of threads 0 stay | ||
| the same whether threads are enabled or not. That's merely an implementation | ||
| detail and has no practical impact. | ||
|
|
||
| 1) Single Package, Single Core | ||
|
|
||
| [package 0] -> [core 0] -> [thread 0] -> Linux CPU 0 | ||
|
|
||
| 2) Single Package, Dual Core | ||
|
|
||
| a) One thread per core | ||
|
|
||
| [package 0] -> [core 0] -> [thread 0] -> Linux CPU 0 | ||
| -> [core 1] -> [thread 0] -> Linux CPU 1 | ||
|
|
||
| b) Two threads per core | ||
|
|
||
| [package 0] -> [core 0] -> [thread 0] -> Linux CPU 0 | ||
| -> [thread 1] -> Linux CPU 1 | ||
| -> [core 1] -> [thread 0] -> Linux CPU 2 | ||
| -> [thread 1] -> Linux CPU 3 | ||
|
|
||

|
|
||
| [package 0] -> [core 0] -> [thread 0] -> Linux CPU 0 | ||
| -> [thread 1] -> Linux CPU 2 | ||
| -> [core 1] -> [thread 0] -> Linux CPU 1 | ||
| -> [thread 1] -> Linux CPU 3 | ||

| -> [thread 1] -> Linux CPU 3 | ||
|

| -> [thread 1] -> Linux CPU 5 | ||
| -> [core 1] -> [thread 0] -> Linux CPU 6 | ||
| -> [thread 1] -> Linux CPU 7 | ||
