  [Impact]
  Applications, particularly those in the HPC domain (e.g. openmpi), can be 
optimized for the processor and cache topology. However, the ARM CPU topology 
isn't correctly exposed to userspace.
  
  [Fix]
- The ACPI 6.2 specification introduced a Processor Properties Topology Table 
(PPTT). The linux kernel needs support for parsing this table, and exposing the 
parsed topology to userspace. This is currently a work-in-progress upstream.
