[PATCH 2/2] sched: Centralize SCHED_{SMT, MC, CLUSTER} definitions

Valentin Schneider valentin.schneider at arm.com
Fri Oct 8 22:53:47 AEDT 2021


Barry recently introduced a new CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER, and discussions
around that highlighted that every architecture redefines its own help text
and dependencies for CONFIG_SCHED_SMT and CONFIG_SCHED_MC.

Move the definition of those to scheduler's Kconfig to centralize help text
and generic dependencies (i.e. SMP). Make them depend on a matching
ARCH_SUPPORTS_SCHED_* which the architectures can select with the relevant
architecture-specific dependency.

s390 uses its own topology table (set_sched_topology()) and doesn't seem to
cope without SCHED_MC or SCHED_SMT, so those remain untogglable.
