ACPI 6.3 adds a flag to indicate that child nodes are all identical cores. This is useful to authoritatively determine if a set of (possibly offline) cores are identical or not. Since the flag doesn't give us a unique id we can generate one and use it to create bitmaps of sibling nodes, or simply in a loop to determine if a subset of cores are identical. Acked-by: Rafael J.

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.
