Subject[PATCH 0/2 RESEND] sched/topology: Optimize topology_span_sane()
Date
A soft lockup is being detected in build_sched_domains() on 32 socket
Sapphire Rapids systems with 3840 processors.

topology_span_sane(), called by build_sched_domains(), checks that each
processor's non-NUMA scheduling domains are completely equal or
completely disjoint. If a non-NUMA scheduling domain partially overlaps
another, scheduling groups can break.

This series adds for_each_cpu_from() as a generic cpumask macro to
optimize topology_span_sane() by removing duplicate comparisons. The
total number of comparisons is reduced from N * (N - 1) to
N * (N - 1) / 2 (per non-NUMA scheduling domain level), decreasing the
boot time by approximately 20 seconds and preventing the soft lockup on
the mentioned systems.

RESEND because Valentin Schneider reported that PATCH 2/2 wasn't
delivered to all recipients.

cpumask: Add for_each_cpu_from()
