The SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY sched_domain flag is supposed to mark the sched_domain in the hierarchy where all CPU capacities are visible for any CPU's point of view on asymmetric CPU capacity systems. The scheduler can then take to take capacity asymmetry into account when balancing at this level. It also serves as an indicator for how wide task placement heuristics have to search to consider all available CPU capacities as asymmetric systems might often appear symmetric at smallest level(s) of the sched_domain hierarchy. The flag has been around for while but so far only been set by out-of-tree code in Android kernels. One solution is to let each architecture provide the flag through a custom sched_domain topology array and associated mask and flag functions. However, SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY is special in the sense that it depends on the capacity and presence of all CPUs in the system, i.e. when hotplugging all CPUs out except those with one particular CPU capacity the flag should disappear even if the sched_domains don't collapse. Similarly, the flag is affected by cpusets where load-balancing is turned off. Detecting when the flags should be set therefore depends not only on topology information but also the cpuset configuration and hotplug state. The arch code doesn't have easy access to the cpuset configuration. Instead, this patch implements the flag detection in generic code where cpusets and hotplug state is already taken care of. All the arch is responsible for is to implement arch_scale_cpu_capacity() and force a full rebuild of the sched_domain hierarchy if capacities are updated, e.g. later in the boot process when cpufreq has initialized.
