Got your point. In fact CPUs are numbered 0-3 and ordered into 2 clusters in
the DT:
cpus {
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <0>;
CPU0: cpu@0 {
...
reg = <0x0 0x0>;
...
};
CPU1: cpu@1 {
...
reg = <0x0 0x1>;
...
};
CPU2: cpu@100 {
...
reg = <0x0 0x100>;
...
};
CPU3: cpu@101 {
...
reg = <0x0 0x101>;
...
};
cpu-map {
cluster0 {
core0 {
cpu = <&CPU0>;
};
core1 {
cpu = <&CPU1>;
};
};
cluster1 {
core0 {
cpu = <&CPU2>;
};
core1 {
cpu = <&CPU3>;
};
};
};
};
As far, as I understand, they are probed in the same order. However, to be
certain that the physical CPU is the one I intend to configure, I have to fetch
the device structure pointer for the cpu-map -> clusterX -> core0 -> cpu path.
Could you suggest a kernel API to do that?
