Sub-NUMA Cluster divides CPUs sharing an L3 cache into separate NUMA nodes. Systems may support splitting into either two, three, four or six nodes. When SNC mode is enabled the effective amount of L3 cache available for allocation is divided by the number of nodes per L3. It's possible to detect which SNC mode is active by comparing the number of CPUs that share a cache with CPU0, with the number of CPUs on node0. Detect SNC mode once and let other tests inherit that information. Update CFLAGS after including lib.mk in the Makefile so that fallthrough macro can be used. To check if SNC detection is reliable one can check the /sys/devices/system/cpu/offline file. If it's empty, it means all cores are operational and the ratio should be calculated correctly. If it has any contents, it means the detected SNC mode can't be trusted and should be disabled. Check if detection was not reliable due to offline cpus. If it was skip running tests since the results couldn't be trusted.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
