Add new macros for mem_hops field which can be used to represent remote-node, socket and board level details. Currently the code had macro for HOPS_0, which corresponds to data coming from another core but same node. Add new macros for HOPS_1 to HOPS_3 to represent remote-node, socket and board level data. For ex: Encodings for mem_hops fields with L2 cache: L2 - local L2 L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_0 - remote core, same node L2 L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_1 - remote node, same socket L2 L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_2 - remote socket, same board L2 L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_3 - remote board L2 Signed-off-by: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211206091749.87585-2-kjain@linux.ibm.com
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.
