Subject: Is topology_core_siblings for use by drivers?


allmodconfig currently dies with:

ERROR: "cpu_core_map" [drivers/net/sfc/sfc.ko] undefined!

$ grep -r cpu_core_map include/asm-ia64/
include/asm-ia64/smp.h:extern cpumask_t cpu_core_map[NR_CPUS];
include/asm-ia64/topology.h:#define topology_core_siblings(cpu) (cpu_core_map[cpu])

OK ... it's not exported to modules.  Do other architectures have this
problem?

$ grep topology_core_siblings include/asm-*/topology.h
include/asm-ia64/topology.h:#define topology_core_siblings(cpu) (cpu_core_map[cpu])
include/asm-powerpc/topology.h:#define topology_core_siblings(cpu) (per_cpu(cpu_core_map, cpu))
include/asm-s390/topology.h:#define topology_core_siblings(cpu) (cpu_core_map[cpu])
include/asm-x86/topology.h:#define topology_core_siblings(cpu) (per_cpu(cpu_core_map, cpu))

s390, I guess.  But they don't have PCI device drivers.

If device drivers are supposed to call this, please apply this patch:

----

Export cpu_core_map so modules can call topology_core_siblings()

operating system, but compare it to ours.  We can't possibly take such
a retrograde step."
