ACPI/PPTT: Add Processor Properties Topology Table parsing
ACPI 6.2 adds a new table, which describes how processing units are related to each other in tree like fashion. Caches are also sprinkled throughout the tree and describe the properties of the caches in relation to other caches and processing units. Add the code to parse the cache hierarchy and report the total number of levels of cache for a given core using acpi_find_last_cache_level() as well as fill out the individual cores cache information with cache_setup_acpi() once the cpu_cacheinfo structure has been populated by the arch specific code. An additional patch later in the set adds the ability to report peers in the topology using find_acpi_cpu_topology() to report a unique ID for each processing unit at a given level in the tree. These unique id's can then be used to match related processing units which exist as threads, within a given package, etc. Tested-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Tested-by: Vijaya Kumar K <vkilari@codeaurora.org> Tested-by: Xiongfeng Wang <wangxiongfeng2@huawei.com> Tested-by: Tomasz Nowicki <Tomasz.Nowicki@cavium.com> Acked-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com> Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Acked-by: Rafael J.
