From: Yicong Yang <yangyicong@hisilicon.com> This series mainly change the policy for building a cluster topology node in PPTT. Previously we'll always build a cluster node in PPTT without asking the user, after this set the cluster node will be built only the the user specify through "-smp clusters=X". One problem is related to this but not fully caused by this, see the discussion in [*]. When booting the VM with `-smp 8` and 4 numa nodes, the linux scheduling domains in the VM misses the NUMA domains. It's because the MC level span extends to Cluster level (which is generated by the Qemu by default) that spans all the cpus in the system, then the scheduling domain building stops at MC level since it already includes all the cpus. Considering cluster is an optional level and most platforms don't have it, they may even don't realize this is built and a always build policy cannot emulate the real topology on these platforms. So in this series improve the policy to only generate cluster when the user explicitly want it. Update the tests and test tables accordingly.

To merge this to master we also need to update the new tests/data/acpi/virt/PPTT.acpihmatvirt I could do so myself but I'd rather you did the rebase and verified the diff manually. If the diff is the same no need to update commit log just the binaries.

I don't use, test or understand any of the ACPI related code :-) I'm happy to leave it up to your judgement whether this should go into this release or wait for 8.0. thanks -- PMM
