John Baldwin 8d791e5af1 Add a new bus method to fetch device-specific CPU sets.
bus_get_cpus() returns a specified set of CPUs for a device.  It accepts
an enum for the second parameter that indicates the type of cpuset to
request.  Currently two valus are supported:

 - LOCAL_CPUS (on x86 this returns all the CPUs in the package closest to
   the device when DEVICE_NUMA is enabled)
 - INTR_CPUS (like LOCAL_CPUS but only returns 1 SMT thread for each core)

For systems that do not support NUMA (or if it is not enabled in the kernel
config), LOCAL_CPUS fails with EINVAL.  INTR_CPUS is mapped to 'all_cpus'
by default.  The idea is that INTR_CPUS should always return a valid set.

Device drivers which want to use per-CPU interrupts should start using
INTR_CPUS instead of simply assigning interrupts to all available CPUs.
In the future we may wish to add tunables to control the policy of
INTR_CPUS (e.g. should it be local-only or global, should it ignore
SMT threads or not).

The x86 nexus driver exposes the internal set of interrupt CPUs from the
the x86 interrupt code via INTR_CPUS.

The ACPI bus driver and PCI bridge drivers use _PXM to return a suitable
LOCAL_CPUS set when _PXM exists and DEVICE_NUMA is enabled.  They also and
the global INTR_CPUS set from the nexus driver with the per-domain set from
_PXM to generate a local INTR_CPUS set for child devices.

Compared to the r298933, this version uses 'struct _cpuset' in
<sys/bus.h> instead of 'cpuset_t' to avoid requiring <sys/param.h>
(<sys/_cpuset.h> still requires <sys/param.h> for MAXCPU even though
<sys/_bitset.h> does not after recent changes).

.Dt BUS_GET_CPUS 9
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm BUS_GET_CPUS ,
.Nm bus_get_cpus
.Nd "request a set of device-specific CPUs"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/param.h
.In sys/bus.h
.In sys/cpuset.h
.Ft int
.Fo BUS_GET_CPUS
.Fa "device_t dev" "device_t child" "enum cpu_sets op" "size_t setsize"
.Fa "cpuset_t *cpuset"
.Fc
.Ft int
.Fo bus_get_cpus
.Fa "device_t dev" "enum cpu_sets op" "size_t setsize" "cpuset_t *cpuset"
.Fc
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn BUS_GET_CPUS
method queries the parent bus device for a set of device-specific CPUs.
The
.Fa op
argument specifies which set of CPUs to retrieve.
If successful,
the requested set of CPUs are returned in
.Fa cpuset .
The
.Fa setsize
argument specifies the size in bytes of the set passed in
.Fa cpuset .
.Pp
.Fn BUS_GET_CPUS
supports querying different types of CPU sets via the the
.Fa op argument.
Not all set types are supported for every device.
If a set type is not supported,
.Fn BUS_GET_CPUS
fails with
.Er EINVAL .
These set types are supported:
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LOCAL_CPUS"
.It Dv LOCAL_CPUS
The set of CPUs that are local to the device.
If a device is closer to a specific memory domain in a non-uniform memory
architecture system
.Pq NUMA ,
this will return the set of CPUs in that memory domain.
.It Dv INTR_CPUS
The preferred set of CPUs that this device should use for device interrupts.
This set type must be supported by all bus drivers.
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn bus_get_cpus
function is a simple wrapper around
.Fn BUS_GET_CPUS .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr cpuset 2 ,
.Xr BUS_BIND_INTR 9 ,
.Xr device 9
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Fn BUS_GET_CPUS
method and
.Fn bus_get_cpus
function first appeared in
.Fx 11.0 .
