Currently the CPU capacity asymmetry detection, performed through asym_cpu_capacity_level, tries to identify the lowest topology level at which the highest CPU capacity is being observed, not necessarily finding the level at which all possible capacity values are visible to all CPUs, which might be bit problematic for some possible/valid asymmetric topologies i.e.: DIE [ ] MC [ ][ ] CPU [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Capacity |.....| |.....| |.....| |.....| L M B B Where: arch_scale_cpu_capacity(L) = 512 arch_scale_cpu_capacity(M) = 871 arch_scale_cpu_capacity(B) = 1024 In this particular case, the asymmetric topology level will point at MC, as all possible CPU masks for that level do cover the CPU with the highest capacity. It will work just fine for the first cluster, not so much for the second one though (consider the find_energy_efficient_cpu which might end up attempting the energy aware wake-up for a domain that does not see any asymmetry at all) Rework the way the capacity asymmetry levels are being detected, allowing to point to the lowest topology level (for a given CPU), where full set of available CPU capacities is visible to all CPUs within given domain. As a result, the per-cpu sd_asym_cpucapacity might differ across the domains. This will have an impact on EAS wake-up placement in a way that it might see different range of CPUs to be considered, depending on the given current and target CPUs. Additionally, those levels, where any range of asymmetry (not necessarily full) is being detected will get identified as well. The selected asymmetric topology level will be denoted by SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL sched domain flag whereas the 'sub-levels' would receive the already used SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag. This allows maintaining the current behaviour for asymmetric topologies, with misfit migration operating correctly on lower levels, if applicable, as any asymmetry is enough to trigger the misfit migration. The logic there relies on the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag and does not relate to the full asymmetry level denoted by the sd_asym_cpucapacity pointer. Detecting the CPU capacity asymmetry is being based on a set of available CPU capacities for all possible CPUs. This data is being generated upon init and updated once CPU topology changes are being detected (through arch_update_cpu_topology). As such, any changes to identified CPU capacities (like initializing cpufreq) need to be explicitly advertised by corresponding archs to trigger rebuilding the data. Additional -dflags- parameter, used when building sched domains, has been removed as well, as the asymmetry flags are now being set directly in sd_init.

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.
