We currently have fields in struct cpuinfo_mips for the core & VP(E) ID of a particular CPU, and various pieces of code directly access those fields. This patch abstracts such access by introducing accessor functions cpu_core(), cpu_set_core(), cpu_vpe_id() & cpu_set_vpe_id() and having code that needs to access these values call those functions rather than directly accessing the struct cpuinfo_mips fields. This prepares us for changes to the way in which those values are stored in later patches. The cpu_vpe_id() function is introduced even though we already had a cpu_vpe_id() macro for a couple of reasons: 1) It's more consistent with the core, and future cluster, accessors. 2) It ensures a sensible return type without explicit casts. 3) It's generally preferable to use functions rather than macros.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
