<title>x86: show number of core_siblings instead of thread_siblings in /proc/cpuinfo</title>

Commit 7ad728f98162cb1af06a85b2a5fc422dddd4fb78
(cpumask: x86: convert cpu_sibling_map/cpu_core_map to cpumask_var_t)
changed the output of /proc/cpuinfo for siblings:

Example on an AMD Phenom:

  physical id   : 0
  siblings : 1
  core id	   : 3
  cpu cores  : 4

Before that commit it was:

  physical id	: 0
  siblings : 4
  core id	   : 3
  cpu cores  : 4

Instead of cpu_core_mask it now uses cpu_sibling_mask to count siblings.
This is due to the following hunk of above commit:

|  --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
|  +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
|  @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ static void show_cpuinfo_core(struct seq_file *m, struct cpuinf
|          if (c-&gt;x86_max_cores * smp_num_siblings &gt; 1) {
|                  seq_printf(m, "physical id\t: %d\n", c-&gt;phys_proc_id);
|                  seq_printf(m, "siblings\t: %d\n",
|  -                          cpus_weight(per_cpu(cpu_core_map, cpu)));
|  +                          cpumask_weight(cpu_sibling_mask(cpu)));
|                  seq_printf(m, "core id\t\t: %d\n", c-&gt;cpu_core_id);
|                  seq_printf(m, "cpu cores\t: %d\n", c-&gt;booted_cores);
|                  seq_printf(m, "apicid\t\t: %d\n", c-&gt;apicid);

This was a mistake, because the impact line shows that this side-effect
was not anticipated:

   Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y

So revert the respective hunk to restore the old behavior.

Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y

In most places it's cleaner to use the accessors cpu_sibling_mask()
and cpu_core_mask() wrappers which already exist.

I couldn't avoid cleaning up the access in oprofile, either.

Impact: fix missing CPUs in /proc/cpuinfo after CPU hotunplug/hotreplug

In my test, I found that if a cpu has been offline,
the next cpus may not be shown in the /proc/cpuinfo.

if one read() cannot consume the whole /proc/cpuinfo,
c_start() will be called again in the next read() calls.
And *pos has been increased by 1 by the caller(seq_read()).
if this time the cpu#*pos is offline, c_start() will return
NULL, and the next cpus can not be shown.

this fix use next_cpu_nr(*pos - 1, cpu_online_map) to
search the next unshown cpu.

the most easy way to reproduce this bug:
1) offline cpu#1             (cpu#0 is online)
2) dd ibs=2 if=/proc/cpuinfo
   the result is that only cpu#0 is shown.
   cpu#2 and cpu#3 .... cannot be shown in /proc/cpuinfo
   it's bug.
