Subject: [PATCH/RFC 0/4] Fix RISC-V's arch-topology reporting

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@...rochip.com>

Hey all,
It's my first time messing around with arch/ code at all, let alone
more than one arch, so forgive me if I have screwed up how to do a
migration like this.

The goal here is the fix the incorrectly reported arch topology on
RISC-V which seems to have been broken since it was added.
cpu, package and thread IDs are all currently reported as -1, so tools
like lstopo think systems have multiple threads on the same core when
this is not true:
https://github.com/open-mpi/hwloc/issues/536

Because I want to backport that fix, I implemented store_cpu_topology
for RISC-V before migrating to the generic version which seems to have
just complicated things, but was Sudeep's preferred way of doing it.

Palmer, I have not marked the first patch as RFC because I would like
it to be taken as a fix for 5.19-rc(late) independently of the rest if
possible.

The rest of the series is RFC b/c I don't know what I am doing ;)

I only built tested for arm64, so hopefully it is not broken when used.

Thanks,
Conor.

Conor Dooley (4):
  riscv: arch-topology: fix default topology reporting
  arch-topology: add a default implementation of store_cpu_topology()
  riscv: arch-topology: move riscv to the generic store_cpu_topology()
  arm64: arch-topology move arm64 to the generic store_cpu_topology()
