Therefore, I think system level invariance management (checks and
call to rebuild_sched_domains_energy()) also needs to move from arm64
code to arch_topology code.
Here is the 3rd patch of this series then :)
I think it could be merged in patch 1/2 as it's part of enabling the use
of multiple sources of information for FIE. Up to you!

Subject: [PATCH] drivers: arch_topology: rebuild sched domains on invariance
 change

We already do this for the arm64, move it to arch_topology.c as we
manage all sched_freq_tick sources here now.

You still need these checks, otherwise you could end up with only part
of the CPUs setting a scale factor, when only part of the CPUs support
AMUs and there is no cpufreq support for FIE.

Small(ish) optimisation at the beginning of this function:

    if (cpumask_empty(&scale_freq_counters_mask))
        scale_freq_invariant = topology_scale_freq_invariant();

This will save you a call to rebuild_sched_domains_energy(), which is
quite expensive, when cpufreq supports FIE and we also have counters.

..for 1/2 and this addition.


Thanks,
