| |
Add another member to the family of per-cpu sched_domain shortcut pointers. This one, sd_ea, points to the lowest level at which energy aware scheduling should be used.
Generally speaking, the largest opportunity to save energy via scheduling comes from a smarter exploitation of heterogeneous platforms (i.e. big.LITTLE). Consequently, the sd_ea shortcut is wired to the lowest scheduling domain at which the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag is set. For example, it is possible to apply Energy-Aware Scheduling within a socket on a multi-socket system, as long as each socket has an asymmetric topology. Cross-sockets wake-up balancing will only happen when the system is over-utilized, or this_cpu and prev_cpu are in different sockets.
