Hi Vincent, Dietmar, Peter, Ingo, Do you have any comment on this first series which exposes cluster topology of ARM64 kunpeng 920 & x86 Jacobsville and supports load balance only for the 1st stage? I will be very grateful for your comments so that things can move forward in the right direction. I think Tim also looks forward to bringing up cluster support in Jacobsville.This patchset makes sense to me and the addition of a new scheduling level to better reflect the HW topology goes in the right direction.So I had a look, dreading the selecti-idle-sibling changes, and was pleasantly surprised they're gone :-) As is, this does indeed look like something mergable without too much hassle. The one questino I have is, do we want default y?
I also agree that default y is preferable.
The one nit I have is the Kconfig text, I'm not really sure that's clarifying what a cluster is.
Do you have a preference of a different name other than cluster? Or simply better documentation on what a cluster is for ARM64 and x86 in Kconfig? Thanks.
