Some device drivers like PMU require to retrieve the logical cpu mask
that corresponds to a given cluster id. This patch provides a hook in
the topology code that, given an existing cluster id as input,
initializes the corresponding cpumask passed as a pointer, reusing all
existing topology information required by sched domains in the kernel.

These symbols are only referenced in this source file so can be made
static, and the efficiency table is constant data so can be declared as
such. This avoids polluting the global namespace and fixes warnings
from sparse.
The function arch_scale_freq_power() is still not prototyped or static,
this is a separate issue as this is overriding a weak symbol from the
scheduler which neglects to provide a prototype.

Currently the topology code computes cpu capacity and stores it in
the list along with hwid(which is MPIDR) as it parses the CPU nodes
in the device tree. This is required as it needs to be mapped to the
logical CPU later.
Since the CPU device nodes can be retrieved in the logical ordering
using DT/OF helpers, its possible to store cpu_capacity also in logical
ordering and avoid storing hwid for each entry.
This patch removes hwid by making use of of_get_cpu_node.

The cpu_topology symbol is required by any driver using the topology
interfaces, which leads to a couple of build errors:
ERROR: "cpu_topology" [drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "cpu_topology" [drivers/cpufreq/arm_big_little.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "cpu_topology" [drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.ko] undefined!
The obvious solution is to export this symbol.

Kernel subsystems other than the topology layer need the MPIDR
mask definitions to access the MPIDR without relying on hardcoded
masks. This patch moves the MPIDR register masks definition to
a header file and defines a macro to simplify access to MPIDR bit fields
representing affinity levels.

Get rid of this warning..
arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0xac78): Section mismatch in reference
from the function init_cpu_topology() to the function
.init.text:parse_dt_topology()
The function init_cpu_topology() references
the function __init parse_dt_topology().
This is often because init_cpu_topology lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of parse_dt_topology is wrong.

Use cpu compatibility field and clock-frequency field of DT to
estimate the capacity of each core of the system and to update
the cpu_power field accordingly.
This patch enables to put more running tasks on big cores than
on LITTLE ones. But this patch doesn't ensure that long running
tasks will run on big cores and short ones on LITTLE cores.

This factorization has also been proposed in another patch that has not been
merged yet:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-January/080873.html
So, this patch could be dropped depending of the state of the other one.

The affinity between ARM processors is defined in the MPIDR register.
We can identify which processors are in the same cluster,
and which ones have performance interdependency. We can define the
cpu topology of ARM platform, that is then used by sched_mc and sched_smt.
The default state of sched_mc and sched_smt config is disable.
When enabled, the behavior of the scheduler can be modified with
sched_mc_power_savings and sched_smt_power_savings sysfs interfaces.
