powerpc: Cleanup APIs for cpu/thread/core mappings
These APIs take logical cpu number as input Change cpu_first_thread_in_core() to cpu_first_thread_sibling() Change cpu_last_thread_in_core() to cpu_last_thread_sibling() These APIs convert core number (index) to logical cpu/thread numbers Add cpu_first_thread_of_core(int core) Changed cpu_thread_to_core() to cpu_core_index_of_thread(int cpu) The goal is to make 'threads_per_core' accessible to the pseries_energy module. Instead of making an API to read threads_per_core, this is a higher level wrapper function to convert from logical cpu number to core number. The current APIs cpu_first_thread_in_core() and cpu_last_thread_in_core() returns logical CPU number while cpu_thread_to_core() returns core number or index which is not a logical CPU number. The new APIs are now clearly named to distinguish 'core number' versus first and last 'logical cpu number' in that core. The new APIs cpu_{first,last}_thread_sibling() work on logical cpu numbers. While cpu_first_thread_of_core() and cpu_core_index_of_thread() work on core index. Example usage: (4 threads per core system) cpu_first_thread_sibling(5) = 4 cpu_last_thread_sibling(5) = 7 cpu_core_index_of_thread(5) = 1 cpu_first_thread_of_core(1) = 4 cpu_core_index_of_thread() is used in cpu_to_drc_index() in the module and cpu_first_thread_of_core() is used in drc_index_to_cpu() in the module. Make API changes to few callers. Export symbols for use in modules. Signed-off-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
