Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Export Multicore information

[Emmanuel Ackaouy <ack@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nitin,

In terms of topology, aren't the sibling and core maps enough
information? I guess we could plan ahead for nodes in the
interface too. Do we really need to export cpu, core, and
package ids though? Also, should we export info for anything
other than online cpus?

I've only looked at the code to support XEN_SYSCTL_cpuinfo in
sysctl.c. I don't get the "count" check here. Looks like we
ignore the size of the array passed by the user. We read it
but ignore it. Am I missing something?

Cheers,
Emmanuel.
