[RFC] issue with cpumask for UniProcessor

[Saurabh Sengar]

Hi,

I am working on a UniProcessor system with latest linux-next kernel (20220803).
I observed two files "shared_cpu_map” and “shared_cpu_list” are missing
for L3 cache (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3). This causes lscpu
version 2.34 to segfault. On further digging I figured below is the commit
which introduced this problem.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/e78c55ecb98172356248a7a89da501479ead6ae0.1659077534.git.sander@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/


I am not 100% certain what the proper fix for it is, but below changes fix
this issue. I understand above patch is already confirmed for linux kernel
6.0, please suggest if we need fixing this in 6.0.

Regards,
Saurabh
