These are updates to fix some discrepancies we have in the CPU topology
parsing from the device tree /cpu-map node and the divergence from the
behaviour on a ACPI enabled platform. The expectation is that both DT
and ACPI enabled systems must present consistent view of the CPU topology.
The current assignment of generated cluster count as the physical package
identifier for each CPU is wrong. The device tree bindings for CPU
topology supports sockets to infer the socket or physical package
identifier for a given CPU. It is now being made use of you address the
issue. These updates also assigns the cluster identifier as parsed from
the device tree cluster nodes within /cpu-map without support for
nesting of the clusters as there are no such reported/known platforms.
In order to be on par with ACPI PPTT physical package/socket support,
these updates also include support for socket nodes in /cpu-map.
The only exception is that the last level cache id information can be
inferred from the same ACPI PPTT while we need to parse CPU cache nodes
in the device tree. The cacheinfo changes here is to enable the re-use
of the cacheinfo to detect the cache attributes for all the CPU quite
early even before the scondardaries are booted so that the information
can be used to build the schedular domains especially the last level
cache(LLC).

* tag 'arch-cache-topo-5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sudeep.holla/linux: (21 commits)
ACPI: Remove the unused find_acpi_cpu_cache_topology()
arch_topology: Warn that topology for nested clusters is not supported
arch_topology: Add support for parsing sockets in /cpu-map
arch_topology: Set cluster identifier in each core/thread from /cpu-map
arch_topology: Limit span of cpu_clustergroup_mask()
arch_topology: Don't set cluster identifier as physical package identifier
arch_topology: Avoid parsing through all the CPUs once a outlier CPU is found
arch_topology: Check for non-negative value rather than -1 for IDs validity
arch_topology: Set thread sibling cpumask only within the cluster
arch_topology: Drop LLC identifier stash from the CPU topology
arm64: topology: Remove redundant setting of llc_id in CPU topology
arch_topology: Use the last level cache information from the cacheinfo

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
