freebsd kernel with SKQ
14341afcfc
Previously, the code determined a topology of processing units
(hardware threads, cores, packages) and then deduced a cache topology
using certain assumptions. The new code builds a topology that
includes both processing units and caches using the information
provided by the hardware.
At the moment, the discovered full topology is used only to creeate
a scheduling topology for SCHED_ULE.
There is no KPI for other kernel uses.
Summary:
- based on APIC ID derivation rules for Intel and AMD CPUs
- can handle non-uniform topologies
- requires homogeneous APIC ID assignment (same bit widths for ID
components)
- topology for dual-node AMD CPUs may not be optimal
- topology for latest AMD CPU models may not be optimal as the code is
several years old
- supports only thread/package/core/cache nodes
Todo:
- AMD dual-node processors
- latest AMD processors
- NUMA nodes
- checking for homogeneity of the APIC ID assignment across packages
- more flexible cache placement within topology
- expose topology to userland, e.g., via sysctl nodes
Long term todo:
- KPI for CPU sharing and affinity with respect to various resources
(e.g., two logical processors may share the same FPU, etc)

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
