 To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file,
-drivers/base/topology.c, is to export the 4 attributes.
+drivers/base/topology.c, is to export the 4 or 6 attributes. The two book
+related sysfs files will only be created if CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK is selected.
 
 For an architecture to support this feature, it must define some of
 these macros in include/asm-XXX/topology.h:
 #define topology_physical_package_id(cpu)
 #define topology_core_id(cpu)
+#define topology_book_id(cpu)
 #define topology_thread_cpumask(cpu)
 #define topology_core_cpumask(cpu)
+#define topology_book_cpumask(cpu)
 
 The type of **_id is int.
 The type of siblings is (const) struct cpumask *.
