2014-07-09arm64: topology: add MPIDR-based detectionZi Shen Lim
Create cpu topology based on MPIDR. When hardware sets MPIDR to sane values, this method will always work. Therefore it should also work well as the fallback method. [1] When we have multiple processing elements in the system, we create the cpu topology by mapping each affinity level (from lowest to highest) to threads (if they exist), cores, and clusters.

2014-05-16arm64: topology: Add support for topology DT bindingsMark Brown
Add support for parsing the explicit topology bindings to discover the topology of the system. Since it is not currently clear how to map multi-level clusters for the scheduler all leaf clusters are presented to the scheduler at the same level. This should be enough to provide good support for current systems.

2014-05-16arm64: topology: Initialise default topology state immediatelyMark Brown
As a legacy of the way 32 bit ARM did things the topology code uses a null topology map by default and then overwrites it by mapping cores with no information to a cluster by themselves later. In order to make it simpler to reset things as part of recovering from parse failures in firmware information directly set this configuration on init. A core will always be its own sibling so there should be no risk of confusion with firmware provided information.

2014-03-04arm64: topology: Implement basic CPU topology supportMark Brown
Add basic CPU topology support to arm64, based on the existing pre-v8 code and some work done by Mark Hambleton. This patch does not implement any topology discovery support since that should be based on information from firmware, it merely implements the scaffolding for integration of topology support in the architecture. No locking of the topology data is done since it is only modified during CPU bringup with external serialisation from the SMP code. The goal is to separate the architecture hookup for providing topology information from the DT parsing in order to ease review and avoid blocking the architecture code (which will be built on by other work) with the DT code review by providing something simple and basic. Following patches will implement support for interpreting topology information from MPIDR and for parsing the DT topology bindings for ARM, similar patches will be needed for ACPI.
