[PATCH v6 1/9] sched: Extend scheduler's asym packing

2016-10-20 Thread Tim Chen
We generalize the scheduler's asym packing to provide an ordering of the cpu beyond just the cpu number. This allows the use of the ASYM_PACKING scheduler machinery to move loads to preferred CPU in a sched domain. The preference is defined with the cpu priority given by arch_asym_cpu_priority(cpu
