Public bug reported:

[Impact]
Applications, particularly those in the HPC domain (e.g. openmpi), can be 
optimized for the processor and cache topology. However, the ARM CPU topology 
isn't correctly exposed to userspace.

[Fix]
The ACPI 6.2 specification introduced a Processor Properties Topology Table 
(PPTT). The linux kernel needs support for parsing this table, and exposing the 
parsed topology to userspace. This is currently a work-in-progress upstream.

[Test Case]
TBD

[Regression Risk]
TBD

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
