[PATCH v3 00/10] Coregroup support on Powerpc

Srikar Dronamraju srikar at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Thu Jul 23 18:51:06 AEST 2020


Changelog v2 -> v3:
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20200721113814.32284-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u

powerpc/smp: Cache node for reuse
	Removed node caching part. Rewrote the Commit msg (Michael Ellerman)
	Renamed to powerpc/smp: Fix a warning under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES

powerpc/smp: Enable small core scheduling sooner
	Rewrote changelog (Gautham)
	Renamed to powerpc/smp: Move topology fixups into  a new function

powerpc/smp: Create coregroup domain
	Add optimization for mask updation under coregroup_support

Changelog v1 -> v2:
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20200714043624.5648-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u

powerpc/smp: Merge Power9 topology with Power topology
	Replaced a reference to cpu_smt_mask with per_cpu(cpu_sibling_map, cpu)
	since cpu_smt_mask is only defined under CONFIG_SCHED_SMT

powerpc/smp: Enable small core scheduling sooner
	Restored the previous info msg (Jordan)
	Moved big core topology fixup to fixup_topology (Gautham)

powerpc/smp: Dont assume l2-cache to be superset of sibling
	Set cpumask after verifying l2-cache. (Gautham)

powerpc/smp: Generalize 2nd sched domain
	Moved shared_cache topology fixup to fixup_topology (Gautham)

Powerpc/numa: Detect support for coregroup
	Explained Coregroup in commit msg (Michael Ellerman)

Powerpc/smp: Create coregroup domain
	Moved coregroup topology fixup to fixup_topology (Gautham)

powerpc/smp: Implement cpu_to_coregroup_id
	Move coregroup_enabled before getting associativity (Gautham)

powerpc/smp: Provide an ability to disable coregroup
	Patch dropped (Michael Ellerman)

Cleanup of existing powerpc topologies and add coregroup support on
Powerpc. Coregroup is a group of (subset of) cores of a DIE that share
a resource.

Patch 7 of this patch series: "Powerpc/numa: Detect support for coregroup"
depends on
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20200707140644.7241-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u
However it should be easy to rebase the patch without the above patch.

This patch series is based on top of current powerpc/next tree + the
above patch.
