From 5853aef1ac5c5d83076203e840ca463857a7515d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Fri, 23 May 2014 18:15:27 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Add threads_per_subcore On POWER8 we have a new concept of a subcore. This is what happens when you take a regular core and split it. A subcore is a grouping of two or four SMT threads, as well as a handfull of SPRs which allows the subcore to appear as if it were a core from the point of view of a guest. Unlike threads_per_core which is fixed at boot, threads_per_subcore can change while the system is running. Most code will not want to use threads_per_subcore.
