    cpu topology: always define CPU topology information · c50cbb05
    Ben Hutchings 提交于
    This can result in an empty topology directory in sysfs, and requires
    in-kernel users to protect all uses with #ifdef - see
    <http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=120639033904472&w=2>.
    
    The documentation of CPU topology specifies what the defaults should be if
    only partial information is available from the hardware.  So we can
    provide these defaults as a fallback.
    
    This patch:
    
    - Adds default definitions of the 4 topology macros to <linux/topology.h>
    - Changes drivers/base/topology.c to use the topology macros unconditionally
      and to cope with definitions that aren't lvalues
    - Updates documentation accordingly
