Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ARM: exynos_defconfig: Enable SCHED_MC
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2020 21:54:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200127215453.15144-2-lukasz.luba@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200127215453.15144-1-lukasz.luba@arm.com>

From: Lukasz Luba <lukasz.luba@arm.com>

Since the 'capacities-dmips-mhz' are present in the CPU nodes, make use of
this knowledge in smarter decisions during scheduling.

The values in 'capacities-dmips-mhz' are normilized, this means that i.e.
when CPU0's capacities-dmips-mhz=100 and CPU1's 'capacities-dmips-mhz'=50,
cpu0 is twice fast as CPU1, at the same frequency. The proper hirarchy
in sched_domain topology could exploit the SoC architecture advantages
like big.LITTLE. Enabling the SCHED_MC will create two levels in
sched_domain hierarchy, which might be observed in:

grep . /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu*/domain*/{name,flags}
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain0/name:MC
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain1/name:DIE
...
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain0/flags:575
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain1/flags:4223
