Mgerge remote-tracking branch 'torvalds/master' into perf/core
To sync headers, for instance, in this case tools/perf was ahead of
upstream till Linus merged tip/perf/core to get the
PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE changes:
Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h'
diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h

This requirement is checked at run-time by looking for the presence of the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag when the scheduling domains are built. -The flag is set/cleared automatically by the scheduler topology code whenever -there are CPUs with different capacities in a root domain. The capacities of -CPUs are provided by arch-specific code through the arch_scale_cpu_capacity() -callback. As an example, arm and arm64 share an implementation of this callback -which uses a combination of CPUFreq data and device-tree bindings to compute the -capacity of CPUs (see drivers/base/arch_topology.c for more details). - -So, in order to use EAS on your platform your architecture must implement the -arch_scale_cpu_capacity() callback, and some of the CPUs must have a lower -capacity than others. +See Documentation/sched/sched-capacity.rst for requirements to be met for this +flag to be set in the sched_domain hierarchy. Please note that EAS is not fundamentally incompatible with SMP, but no significant savings on SMP platforms have been observed yet. This restriction |
