AMD systems provide a "NodeId" value that represents a global ID indicating to which "Node" a logical CPU belongs. The "Node" is a physical structure equivalent to a Die, and it should not be confused with logical structures like NUMA nodes. Logical nodes can be adjusted based on firmware or other settings whereas the physical nodes/dies are fixed based on hardware topology. The NodeId value can be used when a physical ID is needed by software. Save the AMD NodeId to struct cpuinfo_x86.cpu_die_id. Use the value from CPUID or MSR as appropriate. Default to phys_proc_id otherwise. Do so for both AMD and Hygon systems. Drop the node_id parameter from cacheinfo_*_init_llc_id() as it is no longer needed. Update the x86 topology documentation.

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 Restructured Text 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.
