From: Yicong Yang <yangyic...@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 topology on these platforms. So in this series improve the policy to only generate cluster when the user explicitly want. Update the tests and test tables accordingly.
